A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW PUBLIC AUCTION DEALERS TO SELL MOTOR VEHICLES WITH CURRENT INSPECTION STICKERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-183.2(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c)	On and after February 16, 1966, all motor vehicle dealers in North Carolina shall, prior to retail sale of any new or used motor vehicle, have such motor vehicle inspected by an approved inspection station as required by this Part.  Provided, however, a purchaser of a motor vehicle, who is licensed as a self-inspector, may conduct the required inspection, after entering into a written agreement with the dealer to follow such a procedure. A copy of such dealer-purchaser agreement must be filed with the Division of Motor Vehicles.  Provided further, that any new and unregistered vehicle sold to a nonresident (as defined in G.S. 20-6) shall be exempt from the requirements of this section if such vehicle is not required to be registered in this State.  Provided further, that motor vehicles sold by public auction dealers meet the inspection requirements of this subsection if they have a current North Carolina inspection sticker displayed at the time of sale."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
