I have seen as well as many others stopping at AIS inspection stations that most do not operate early with a cup of coffee in hand like fishermen do. The port of entry in Evanston are never hardly there when I go thru. I always take the exit to make sure its manned or not. Now when taking the exit, I no longer take the loop back to the inspection site if I don't see any activity, but instead just continue to on ramp of interstate, life doesn't stop since inspectors are getting their rest. Since this is one of their official stations, a sign should be illuminated stating station hours or closed like the port of entry signs for truckers.  I have been thru inspections before there because of a later start I made. 

UTAH
Boaters are required to stop at all operating AIS inspection stations.
Wake up & get the coffee brewing, I'm not waiting around. We know what we go thru testing, displaying, paying a fee for a decal, its a discussion that has been pounded in the past.

WYOMING
Any watercraft transported into Wyoming from March 1 through November 30 must undergo a mandatory inspection by an authorized inspector before launching in any water of the state. Any watercraft that has been in a water infested with zebra/quagga mussels within the last 30 days must be inspected by an authorized inspector before launching during ALL months of the year. All watercraft must stop at any open watercraft check station on their route of travel, regardless of previous destination and intention to launch in Wyoming.
Alot of boaters slip thru without stopping and not waiting for station to open. I'm one who is not waiting for them.

IDAHO
Idaho’s Invasive Species Law
Idaho law states that any motorized or non-motorized boat operating in Idaho is required to display an Invasive Species Fund (ISF) sticker. When you purchase and display an ISF sticker, you contribute to a fund that provides vessel inspections, washing stations and informational materials that will assist Idaho with preventing the introduction of aquatic invasive species like quagga mussels.
Any citizen traveling past a watercraft inspection station with a watercraft or conveyance must stop.

Calif
Not too familiar with this state anymore since moving away-I call it escaping. My son who still lives in Sacramento tells me there is a $16 AIS decal for the boat. He also said Lake Tahoe has an inspection fee of $100 plus requires boat to be washed down for an additional $50 fee prior to launch. If you leave and return next day with boat, the process is repeated. Nevada works with Calif for a clean L Tahoe, there is a law for 2-strokes. He also stated there is an inspection at the agricultural stop in Truckee coming into this state but only look to see if drain plugs are removed. 

Every state is going to have their version of a law involving AIS. I feel most stations to start are relaxed which should be a 24/7.
