Now they'll have to physically run the tag on each car they check to see if the inspection is up to date.

In that case, you have to wonder if the state will step in with automatic fines for being overdue on inspection? What a paperwork SNAFU that will be.

When you get it inspected the place doing the inspection enters it in the computer. Believe me, they will know if you got it done and will block your registration. Yes an officer will have to run your tag to know but how is that so different than the sticker? It's not like cops could see the date on your sticker to know if it was good or not. The only change is no sticker and the reminder will be on your registration and they will both be due around the same time.

I finally got my car inspected today.
According to mechanic.
Instead of the sticker you information on inspection is within your license tag now and once you have had it inspected when your car tag is due for renewal both will be due within the same month.

You have to have it inspected before you renew your tags.

Thanks for everyone opinion

Which cuts the time to accomplish both since one must come before the other and both due the same month, pain in the butt that serves no purpose. Just raise the price of the tag and scrap the inspections, which are worthless at best and an inconvenience for everyone.
