 traffic law, to ensure the operational safety  of  such  vehicles.  Such
 study  shall  include,  but  shall  not be limited to, an examination of
 whether  additional  inspection  items  should  be   included,   whether
 inspection  items  should be modified, an examination of the maximum fee

 safety inspections to both consumers and official inspection stations.
   §  2. No later than one year after the effective date of this act, the
 commissioner of motor vehicles shall submit a report of such study  with
 the  commissioner's  findings  and  recommendations to the governor, the
