Sounds like they are loosing too much revenue off drivers not getting the inspections done every 12 months. I've been guilty a time or two of not
noticing the inspection is out and got a few "free" months. My stickers have always been quite a few months apart so I don't think about it at the time of registration.

$35 I have a diesel and a 2012 van. Both were $14.50 each to have inspected and tires rotated.

Maybe I have the wrong information but we briefly discussed this in the new laws section of our training. I thought that there is no coinciding with the inspection and the registration. There is only the requirement that your vehicle did get inspected before you can pay for your tags. In effect, it is no different than your vehicle insurance. You might have bought a policy in June and got your registration expired in November. To pay for your new registration/tags, you have to show that your vehicle does have insurance. I think the new inspection works the same way. If your vehicle was inspected in June and it is good for a year and renewed your car registration in November, you will have proof that your vehicle is currently under inspection (having been done in June and good for a year). It is not like you have to go to an inspection station and then drive to the courthouse to get your tags.
Once a vehicle is inspected, that information is supposed to go into the state vehicle registration so that if an officer runs your tags, it will show both the registration expiration date and the inspection expiration date which may be different. There would be no need to pro-rate it. Also since the cost of the inspection is added to the registration each year, when inspected at a station you will only pay the part that is currently for the inspection station. Your out of pocket at the actual inspection will be less as the rest will be added to your tags.
On the other hand, I might have been nodding of a bit during that exciting part of the class and misunderstood what was said.
I know the question on your test was something about the registration and inspection being combined and the answer was "true".
