II. Any vehicle registered under this title, except an OHRV, snowmobile, moped, roadable aircraft, or other exempt vehicle, shall be inspected [once a year] once every 2 years, during the month in which the birth date of the owner is observed, if the owner is a natural person. An inspection sticker shall be valid for the same duration as 2 concurrent year's of the vehicle's registration, which shall not exceed [16] 28 months. If the month in which the anniversary of the owner's birth occurs will be one of the next 4 months, an inspection sticker may be issued, with an expiration date of the birth month in the [following] second year, of the first person named on the title application.

An inspection sticker shall not expire when a vehicle is transferred to a licensed dealer.
