Statutory Authority: RSA 21-P:14, V(a)

REVISION NOTE #1 (Replacement of Saf-M 700 by Saf-C 3200):

Document #5250, effective 10-21-91, adopted Saf-C 3200, making extensive changes to the wording, numbering and format of rules in the former Chapter Saf-M 700 governing motor vehicle inspections. The filings prior to Document #5250 for former Chapter Saf-M 700 included the following documents:

#1723, eff 3-1-81 #2993, eff 3-22-85

#2067, eff 6-29-82 #4206, eff 1-16-87

#2253, eff 12-31-82 #4356, eff 1-20-88

#2254, eff 12-31-82 #4376, eff 2-29-88

#2602, eff 1-24-84 #4813, eff 5-03-90

#2946, eff 1-3-85 #4872, eff 7-24-90

All of Saf-M 700, except for the amendments in Documents #2993, 4206, 4356, 4376, and 4872, had expired on January 3, 1991. Document #5250 was intended to replace all prior motor inspection rules, but did not actually repeal the remaining existing rules in Saf-M 700. Document #5260, effective 10-25-91, made an amendment to Saf-M 712.03(a) relative to emergency lights and was numbered and worded to correspond with that paragraph. Emergency lights were otherwise governed by Saf-C 3217.02.

Document #6281, effective 7-9-96, repealed the remaining effective rules in Saf-M 700 governing emergency lights, and Saf-M 700 was now completely replaced by Saf-C 3200.

REVISION NOTE #2 (Amendments and Readoption with Amendments of Saf-C 3200):

Document #8915, effective 6-22-07, readopted with amendments most rules in Chapter Saf-C 3200, making changes to the wording, numbering, and format of those rules. The filings affecting Saf-C 3200 after Document #5250 and prior to Document #8915 include the following documents:

#5361, eff 3-19-92 #6266, eff 6-11-96

#6151, eff 12-22-95, INTERIM, EXPIRED 4-30-96 #8530, eff 12-24-05, INTERIM, EXPIRED 6-22-06

All of Saf-C 3200, except for the amendments in Documents #7731, had expired on June 22, 2006. Document #8915 renumbered, but did not readopt at that time, the following rules contained in Document #7731 and which therefore retained their last effective date of 7-26-02:

Saf-C 3201.051, 3201.052, and 3201.053, renumbered as Saf-C 3202.05, 3202.06, and 3202.07
