Vehicle inspection stations in Missouri would have to carry insurance to cover vehicle damage done by employees, under legislation moving through the state Senate.
Sen. Robin Wright-Jones
Missouri requires inspections every two years for older vehicles. They can be performed at auto repair shops or other stations certified by the State Highway Patrol.
Sen. Robin Wright-Jones, a St. Louis Democrat, says that if the state is going to require drivers to get their vehicles inspected, it should also require shops to hold liability insurance.
The Senate has endorsed a measure requiring the shops to carry that insurance. The legislation must be approved once more before going to the House. Inspection station insurance bill is SB504.
