SCS SB 1048 -- Motor Vehicle Registration Fees Sponsor: Shields This substitute allows a motor vehicle owner to receive a refund for the unused portion of a registration fee when the owner sells the motor vehicle and does not replace it with another if the unused portion is $5 or greater. Currently, owners can receive credit for an unused portion of a registration fee if they cannot transfer their license plates to a newly acquired vehicle due to a change of vehicle category.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
