What action is taken with unused stickers?

In Pennsylvania, any unused inspection stickers are required to be kept until the Quality Assurance Officer (QAO) arrives for a refund. This practice ensures that there is proper accountability and control over the inspection stickers issued, as they are valuable resources that can be misused if not handled correctly. The retention of unused stickers until they can be returned helps maintain the integrity of the inspection process.

Stickers are tracked to prevent fraud or unauthorized use, and the presence of a Quality Assurance Officer aids in verifying the proper handling of these materials. Returning stickers for a refund also helps ensure that any financial discrepancies are addressed properly within the system.
