(1) The commissioner of public safety shall annually issue permits for and furnish instructions and all necessary forms to official inspection stations for the inspection of vehicles as required by this chapter in the issuance of official certificates of inspection and approval.
(2) Application for permit shall be made on an official form and shall be granted only when the commissioner of public safety is satisfied that the station is properly equipped and has competent personnel to make such inspections and that such inspections will be properly conducted. A fee of ten dollars ($10.00) shall be charged any person or facility seeking a permit as an official inspection station, or a renewal thereof, for the purpose of defraying the cost of administering the processing of the application.
(3) The person making the actual inspection for the station or under whose immediate personal supervision such inspection is made shall have not less than one year's practical experience as an automotive mechanic. No person shall be designated by such station to make such inspections for it unless the person has been approved for that purpose by the department of public safety.
(4) The commissioner of public safety shall properly supervise and cause inspections to be made of such stations and may, after reasonable notice, suspend or revoke and require the surrender of the permit issued to a station which he finds is not properly equipped or conducted. The commissioner of public safety shall maintain and post at the office of the department of public safety lists of all stations holding permits and of those whose permits have been suspended or revoked.
