A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE FEE FOR INSPECTING AFTER-FACTORY WINDOW TINTING NEED BE PAID ONLY ONCE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-183.7(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Fee Amount. – When a fee applies to an inspection of a vehicle or the issuance of an inspection sticker, the fee must be collected. The following fees apply to an inspection of a vehicle and the issuance of an inspection sticker:
Type	Inspection	Sticker
Safety Only, Without After-
Factory Tinted Window	$ 8.25	$ 1.00
Safety Only, With After-Factory Tinted
Window	18.25	1.00
Emissions and Safety Without After-Factory
Tinted Window	17.00	2.40
Emissions and Safety With After-Factory
Tinted Window	27.00	2.40.
If the inspector is presented with a receipt that shows that the fee for inspection of after-factory tinted windows has been previously paid, then the fee for the current inspection shall be the fee as if the vehicle was without after-factory tinted windows.
The fee for performing an inspection of a vehicle applies when an inspection is performed, regardless of whether the vehicle passes the inspection. The fee for an inspection sticker applies when an inspection sticker is put on a vehicle. The fee for performing an inspection of a vehicle with a tinted window applies only to an inspection performed with a light meter after a safety inspection mechanic determined that the window had after-factory tint.
A vehicle that is inspected at an inspection station and fails the inspection is entitled to be reinspected at the same station at any time within 30 days of the failed inspection without paying another inspection fee."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
