Section 11 CSR 50-2.050 - Inspection Station Permits
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule prescribes uniform procedures for the licensing of inspection stations. These procedures are necessary to insure that fees are collected according to law for each applicant and that sufficient stations are licensed to perform inspections.
(1) Any person, firm, corporation, partnership or governmental entity requesting appointment as an official inspection station shall submit a completed inspection station application.
(2) The fee for a permit to operate a public or private inspection station is ten dollars ($10) per year. No fee shall be charged for a permit issued to a governmental entity. A permit is valid for one (1) year from the date of issue. Each permit shall be renewed on or before the expiration date. A completed inspection station application shall be accompanied by a check or money order made payable to the director of revenue and forwarded to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Motor Vehicle Inspection, PO Box 568, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0568. Under no circumstances will cash be accepted for the permit fee.
(3) No permit issued to an inspection station may be transferred or used at any other location. Any change in ownership or location shall cancel the station permit. The Missouri State Highway Patrol must be notified immediately when a change of ownership or location occurs or when a station discontinues operation.
(4) When an inspection station permit has been suspended or revoked, or when a station discontinues operation, all inspection supplies must be released on demand to a motor vehicle inspector or a member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The failure to account for all inspection supplies will be sufficient cause not to reinstate a station permit.
(5) No motor vehicle inspection station license will be issued to a spouse, child(ren), son/daughter-in-law, employee or any person having an interest in the business for the privilege to conduct inspections at the same location or in close proximity to the location of a station whose license is under suspension or revocation, unless the applicant can provide reasonable assurance that the licensee under suspension or revocation will not be employed, manage, assist in the station operation or otherwise benefit financially from the operation of the business in any way.
