Hey Eric.

This is still a suboptimal test because it should
allow optional spacing after the semicolon before
the EOL.

        if ($line =~ /\S\s+;\s*$/)

I still think it's not really necessary to
check for end of line.  It'd also be OK to
report spacing issues on code like:

        for (i = 0 ; i < 100 ; i++)
and
        case foo: x = 1 ; break;

So maybe the test should be

        if ($line =~ /\S\s+;/)

But this test emits a CHK on lines
that add a line with just a ; so that
needs a small update to

        if ($line =~ /^\+.*\S\s+;/)

Also the test should probably be adjacent
to all the other "SPACING" tests so maybe:
