HB 644 -- SALVAGED VEHICLES

SPONSOR:  Wilson (130)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation by a vote of 12 to 0.

Currently, when a person who is not a resident of the United
States buys a nonrepairable motor vehicle or a salvage motor
vehicle, the seller must stamp the words "FOR EXPORT ONLY" on the
face of the title and in each unused reassignment space on the
back of the title and forward it to the Department of Revenue.
This bill specifies that it is the operator of the salvage pool
or salvage disposal sale or the subsequent purchaser who is
required to fulfill these actions.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2010, FY 2011, and
FY 2012.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will clarify who the
seller is on a salvage vehicle.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Wilson (130); State
Farm Insurance Companies; Missouri Insurance Coalition; and
Missouri Auto and Truck Recyclers Association.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
