• requiring all commercial and Passenger Vehicle Transportation (PVT) inspections and re-inspections to be performed at a licensed private inspection facility (PIF) and redefining PIF licensing categories; and
• requiring various 吃瓜黑料 Department of Environmental Protection inspection tests be undertaken and all diesel-fueled vehicles meet general public highway standards.
