So, as I read the law, this applies only to trailers with a gross weight (Trailer +load) of 4,500 lbs. or more.

I just received the registration renewal notice for my trailer with a letter indicating it will need to be inspected before I can complete the registration. Guess I will take it to our local inspection station and see how it goes. Everything is operational so I don't expect any problems.
