<![CDATA[This study examines the urgency of strengthening the authority of the Motor Vehicle Testing Center (Balai PKB) to support the effective implementation of the Zero ODOL 2027 policy in Pangkalpinang City. The ODOL (Over Dimension Over Loading) problem poses serious threats to road safety, infrastructure damage, and national economic losses. Balai PKB, as a technical vehicle testing institution, faces limited authority in law enforcement and continuous supervision of ODOL violations. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze two main issues: first, the authority of Balai PKB in ODOL law enforcement under current regulations; second, the formulation of authority strengthening needed to achieve the Zero ODOL 2027 target. The findings reveal that Balai PKB currently holds only administrative authority without direct enforcement powers, creating legal loopholes exploited by ODOL violators. The ambiguity of post-certification supervision authority weakens law enforcement effectiveness. This study recommends formulating an expansion of Balai PKB's authority through regulatory revision that grants sudden inspection powers, administrative enforcement actions, and integrated coordination with law enforcement agencies, constructed within the framework of decentralization and deconcentration principles according to Indonesian Constitutional Law.]]>
