Indiana House passes vehicle inspection delay measure
The Indiana House approved a first bill to cut back the motor vehicle inspection program and push back deadlines, while the Senate formed a six member panel to grill state university officials on student unrest. The bill would drop front end alignment checks and brake inspection by wheel removal, delay initial inspections up to six months with possible one year extension by the governor, and assign license end numbers to staggered deadlines. The vote was 63 to 13 and moves to the Senate.
