When a motor vehicle required to be inspected under Section 680.104(a) through (f) shall, upon inspection, fail to meet the safety requirements of Section 680.109, the inspection station shall issue an authorized receipt and statement for the vehicle
indicating that it has been inspected and enumerating the defects found. The owner
or operator shall have the defects corrected or repaired at any place he chooses;
provided, that in the case of a motor vehicle owned or maintained by the Fleet Management
Division, the receipt and statement shall be delivered to the Chief of Fleet Management,
who shall decide the manner of correction or repair. The receipt and statement shall
operate as a temporary valid inspection certificate for 30 days after the defect and,
for the purpose of allowing the owner or operator of the motor vehicle to correct
or repair the defect, and the operator shall not be subject to the penalty of Section 680.116 during this time. In any case where a part must be ordered to correct or repair a
defect and the part cannot be received and installed within the 30-day period, the
receipt and statement, together with a dated copy of the order for the part, shall
operate as a temporary valid inspection certificate until the part is received, which
time period shall not exceed 90 days from the date the defect was found. The motor
vehicle may be reinspected one time for the defect within 30 days when the owner does
not have to wait for a part to be received, or within 90 days when the owner must
wait for a part, at the inspection station first making the inspection, without additional
charge; however, upon payment of the full inspection fee, the motor vehicle may be
reinspected at another inspection station.
