Plain-Language Summary

Virginia law allows for the transfer of a valid inspection sticker to a new windshield when replacing a broken one, eliminating the need for reinspection if the original sticker is valid. Additionally, certain officers can issue replacement stickers without reinspection if the original is lost or damaged, provided proof is presented. The law also mandates the Superintendent to establish regulations for vehicle inspections and ensure inspection stations display these regulations prominently.
