A BILL to repeal §17C-15-29 and §17C-15-38 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to repealing antiquated and inoperative provisions of the code regarding approval of safety glass and lighting in motor vehicles.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:


ARTICLE 15. EQUIPMENT.


§1.  Repeal of sections relating to approval of vehicle equipment by Commissioner of Division of Highways.


That §17C-15-29 and §17C-15-38 of the Code of West Virginia are repealed.

 

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to remove antiquated code sections that have no useful purpose. These two code sections require the state to approve the safety glass and lighting used in vehicles. The federal government sets the standards for motor vehicle equipment, not the Division of Highways.

Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from a heading or the present law and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.
