AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) The Maine Legislature is set to consider a proposal to eliminate the need for most annual state vehicle inspections.

The proposal, from Democrat Sen. Dave Miramant of Camden, would get rid of the need for an inspection for vehicles that are less than 20 years old.

Miramant says less than a third of states require an annual vehicle inspection, and it’s time for Maine to take itself off the list.

The Portland Press Herald reports the proposal is slated to come before the legislature’s Transportation Committee on Tuesday.
