Mississippi House Bill 151, which would have repealed the Mississippi annual safety inspection of motor vehicles program, has died in committee. The bill was introduced by state Rep. Steve Horne, R-81. The Automotive Service Association (ASA) had previously launched a grassroots initiative to oppose MS H.B. 151 and is pleased the bill will not move forward.

Another Mississippi bill of interest, H.B. 848, has also died in committee. MS H.B. 848, introduced by Rep. Charles Jim Beckett, R-23, would have revised the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Law to require the commissioner of public safety to require inspections not more than once every two years. It also revised the fees for motor vehicles safety inspections.

To view MS H.B. 151 or MS H.B. 848, visit ASA's legislative website at www.TakingTheHill.com.

The Automotive Service Association supported the creation of the Federal Insurance Office and is against repeal of the mandate granted to the FIO to make recommendations to Congress regarding insurance regulations. ASA encourages independent repairers to go to the ASA legislative website,www.TakingTheHill.com, to send a letter to their senators and representatives encouraging them to oppose efforts to eliminate funding of the Federal Insurance Office modernization study.
