Sec. 6511. (1) A testing station may charge a person a fee of not more than $13.00. This part or the rules promulgated under this part do not prohibit a testing station from providing inspections for a fee of less than $13.00. However, the fee charged shall not be less than $3.00. Three dollars from the fee charged under this subsection shall be remitted by the testing station to the department of treasury as provided in subsection (7) and shall be used by the department for administration and oversight. One dollar from the $3.00 shall be used by the department to reimburse the independent third-party organization pursuant to section 6520. 1 A testing station shall not make a separate charge for issuing a certificate of compliance, notice of failure, or certificate of waiver.
(2) A testing station shall provide 1 free reinspection of a motor vehicle if the motor vehicle failed a previous inspection performed by the testing station and if the motor vehicle is presented for reinspection within 90 days of the previous inspection, except that a testing station is not obligated to perform a free reinspection if the person presenting the motor vehicle for reinspection does not present the notice of failure previously issued by the testing station.
(3) A testing station that has performed repairs to bring into compliance a motor vehicle that has failed an inspection at another testing station within the previous 90 days, as evidenced by the notice of failure, shall provide to the person presenting the motor vehicle a free reinspection and shall provide a certificate of compliance for the motor vehicle if it passes the reinspection.
(4) A testing station shall provide 1 free reinspection of a motor vehicle if a fee was charged by the testing station for an initial inspection of the motor vehicle that was not completed under any condition described in the rules.
(5) Initial inspections must take place within 6 months before the expiration of the registration for the vehicle or the expiration of the certificate of compliance, time extension, or certificate of waiver issued under this part. Vehicles subject to this part that are not required to be registered in this state shall be presented for inspection during each annual inspection test cycle at a time set by the department.
(6) By the fifteenth day of each month, each testing station shall remit the amount of the fee required for administration and oversight under subsection (1) to the department of treasury for deposit in the motor vehicle emissions testing program fund.
