The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any redevelopment project for which the estimated fiscal benefits of the project, as determined by the department of economic development in its review of such application, do not exceed the estimated costs for the state and affected political subdivisions. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply in redevelopment areas located within any city with a population of over four hundred thousand inhabitants where the provisions of subsection 4 of this section are applicable or may become applicable at a future date."; and

After ascertaining the name and address of the owner [and/or] and lienholder, if any, the department shall, within fifteen working days, notify the towing company [and owner or lienholder]. Any towing company which comes into possession of abandoned property pursuant to section 304.155 or 304.157 and who claims a lien for recovering, towing or storing abandoned property shall give notice to the title owner and to all persons claiming a lien thereon, as disclosed by the records of the department of revenue or of a corresponding agency in any other state.

     (2) The date, reason and place from which the abandoned property was removed;

     (8) A statement that any charges in excess of the value of the abandoned property at the time of such transfer shall remain a liability of the owner.

     2. A towing company may assess reasonable storage charges for abandoned property only for the time in which it complies with the procedural requirements of [this section] sections 304.155 to 304.158.

     3. In the event that the records of the department of revenue fail to disclose the name of the owner or any lienholder of record, the department shall notify the towing company which shall attempt to locate documents or other evidence of ownership on or within the abandoned property itself. The towing company must certify that a physical search of the abandoned property disclosed that no ownership documents were found and a good faith effort has been made. For purposes of this section, good faith effort means that the following checks have been performed by the company to establish the prior state of registration and title:

     (1) Check of the abandoned property for any type of license plates, license plate record, temporary permit, inspection sticker, decal or other evidence which may indicate a state of possible registration and title;

     (2) Check the law enforcement report for a license plate number or registration number if the abandoned property was towed at the request of a law enforcement agency;

     (3) Check the tow ticket/report of the tow truck operator to see if a license plate was on the abandoned property at the beginning of the tow, if a private tow; and

The petition shall name the towing company among the defendants. The petition may also name the agency ordering the tow or the owner, lessee or agent of the real property from which the abandoned property was removed. The director of revenue shall not be a party to such petition but a copy of the petition shall be served on the director of revenue who shall not issue title to such abandoned property pursuant to this section until the petition is finally decided.

     (2) Upon filing of a petition in the associate circuit court, the owner or lienholder may have the abandoned property released upon posting with the court a cash or surety bond or other adequate security equal to the amount of the charges for towing and storage to ensure the payment of such charges in the event he does not prevail. Upon the posting of the bond and the payment of the applicable fees, the court shall issue an order notifying the towing company of the posting of the bond and directing the towing company to release the abandoned property. At the time of such release, after reasonable inspection, the owner or lienholder shall give a receipt to the towing company reciting any claims for loss or damage to the abandoned property or the contents thereof.

     (3) Upon determining the respective rights of the parties, the final order of the court shall provide for immediate payment in full of recovery, towing, and storage fees by the abandoned property owner or lienholder or the owner, lessee, or agent thereof of the real property from which the abandoned property was removed.

The application for title shall be accompanied by:

     (1) An affidavit from the lienholder in possession that he has been in possession of the abandoned property for at least thirty days and the owner of the abandoned property or holder of a security agreement has not made arrangements for payment of towing and storage charges;

     (2) An affidavit that the lienholder in possession has not been notified of any application for hearing as provided in this section;

     (3) A copy of the abandoned property report or crime inquiry and inspection [form] report;

     (4) A copy of the thirty-day notice given by certified mail to any owner and person holding a valid security interest and a copy of the certified mail receipt indicating that the owner and lienholder of record has received notice as required in this section.

     9. Any municipality or county may adopt an ordinance regulating the removal and sale of abandoned property provided such ordinance is consistent with sections 304.155 to 304.158.

     10. Any municipality or county which has physical possession of the abandoned property and which sells abandoned property in accordance with a local ordinance may transfer ownership by means of a bill of sale signed by the municipal or county clerk or deputy and sealed with the official municipal or county seal. Such bill of sale shall contain the make and model of the abandoned property, the complete abandoned property identification number and the odometer reading of the abandoned property if available and shall be lawful proof of ownership for any dealer registered under the provisions of section 301.218, RSMo, or section 301.560, RSMo, or for any other person. Any dealer or other person purchasing such property from a municipality or county shall apply within thirty days of purchase for a junking certificate or salvage certificate of title designated with the words "salvage/abandoned property". Anyone convicted of a violation of this section shall be guilty of an infraction.

     11. Any persons who have towed abandoned property prior to August 28, 1996, may, [within one year after August 28, 1996] until January 1, 1998, apply to the department of revenue for either a junking certificate or a salvage certificate of title designated with the words "salvage/abandoned property" to such property. The application shall be accompanied by:

     (1) A notarized affidavit explaining the circumstances by which the abandoned property came into their possession, including the name of the owner or possessor of real property from which the abandoned property was removed;

     (2) The date of the removal;

     (3) The current location of the abandoned property;

     12. If the director is satisfied with the genuineness of the application and supporting documents submitted pursuant to this section, the director shall issue a salvage certificate of title designated with the words "salvage/abandoned property" or a junking certificate.

     13. When an application is made for an original Missouri certificate of ownership on abandoned property previously issued a salvage title as provided in this section, the application shall be accompanied by a properly completed vehicle examination certificate as provided in section 301.190, RSMo, in addition to other documents and fees required by law. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.573, RSMo, to the contrary, if satisfied with the genuiness of the application and supporting documents, the director shall issue an original title that shall not designate the abandoned property as being prior salvage unless the examination certificate indicates the vehicle was previously in a salvaged condition or rebuilt.

     14. If the proceeds obtained by the towing company from sale of the abandoned property exceed the reasonable costs of towing and storage as allowed by law and the costs of retitling such property by more than one hundred dollars, the proceeds shall be returned to the previous owner of the property by a check made payable to both the previous owner and any lienholder of record. Such check shall be made out to the owner and lienholder in the conjunctive, "and", not the disjunctive, "or".

     304.157. 1. If a person abandons property, as defined in section 304.001, on any real property owned by another without the consent of the owner or person in possession of the property, at the request of the person in possession of the real property, any member of the state highway patrol, state water patrol, sheriff, or other law enforcement officer within his jurisdiction may authorize a towing company to remove such abandoned property from the property in the following circumstances:

     "577.037. 1. Upon the trial of any person for violation of any of the provisions of section 565.024, RSMo, or section 565.060, RSMo, or section 577.010 or 577.012, or upon the trial of any criminal action or violations of county or municipal ordinances or in any license suspension or revocation proceeding pursuant to the provisions of chapter 302, RSMo, arising out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while driving a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated condition, the amount of alcohol in the person's blood at the time of the act alleged as shown by any chemical analysis of the person's blood, breath, saliva or urine is admissible in evidence and the provisions of subdivision (5) of section 491.060, RSMo, shall not prevent the admissibility or introduction of such evidence if otherwise admissible. If there was ten-hundredths of one percent or more by weight of alcohol in the person's blood, this shall be prima facie evidence that the person was intoxicated at the time the specimen was taken.

     2. Percent by weight of alcohol in the blood shall be based upon grams of alcohol per one hundred milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of breath.

     3. The foregoing provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing upon the question whether the person was intoxicated.

     4.

     5. Any charge alleging a violation of section 577.010 or 577.012 or any county or municipal ordinance prohibiting driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence of alcohol shall be dismissed with prejudice if a chemical analysis of the defendant's breath, blood, saliva, or urine performed in accordance with sections 577.020 to 577.041 and rules promulgated thereunder by the state department of health demonstrate that there was less than ten-hundredths of one percent of alcohol in the defendant's blood unless one or more of the following considerations cause the court to find a dismissal unwarranted:

     (1) There is evidence that the chemical analysis is unreliable as evidence of the defendant's intoxication at the time of the alleged violation due to the lapse of time between the alleged violation and the obtaining of the specimen;

     (2) There is evidence that the defendant was under the influence of a controlled substance, or drug, or a combination of either or both with or without alcohol; or

     (3) There is substantial evidence of intoxication from physical observations of witnesses or admissions of the defendant."; and

     "No rule or portion of a rule promulgated pursuant to this section shall become effective unless it has been promulgated in accordance with the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, including, but not limited to, section 536.028, after the effective date of this act. All rulemaking authority delegated prior to the effective date of this act is of no force and effect and repealed. The provisions of this section and section 536.028 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to section 536.028 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule or portion of a rule are held unconstitutional or invalid, the purported grant of rulemaking authority and any rule so proposed and contained in the order of rulemaking shall be invalid and void."; and

     Further amend page 19, section 304.012, line 12, by inserting immediately after said line the following:

     "536.028. 1. The delegation of authority to any state agency to propose to the general assembly rules as provided under this section is contingent upon the agency complying with the provisions of this section and this delegation of legislative power to the agency to propose an order of rulemaking containing a rule or portion thereof that has the effect of substantive law, other than a rule relating to the agency's organization and internal management, is contingent and dependent upon the power of the general assembly to review such proposed order of rulemaking, to delay the effective date of such proposed order of rulemaking until the expiration of at least thirty legislative days of a regular session after such order is filed with the general assembly and the secretary of state, and to disapprove and annul any rule or portion thereof contained in such order of rulemaking.

     2. No rule or portion of a rule that has the effect of substantive law shall become effective until the order of rulemaking, in which such rule or portion thereof is contained, has been reviewed by the general assembly in accordance with the procedures provided herein and the agency's authority to propose an order of rulemaking is dependent upon the power of the general assembly to disapprove and annul any such proposed rule or portion thereof as provided herein.

     3. In order for the general assembly to have an effective opportunity to be advised of rules proposed by any state agency under the authority of this section, an agency may propose a rule by complying with the procedures provided in section 536.021, except that the notice of proposed rulemaking shall first be filed with the general assembly by providing a copy thereof to the joint committee on administrative rules which may hold hearings upon any proposed rule or portion thereof at any time. The agency shall cooperate with the joint committee on administrative rules by providing any witnesses, documents or information within the control of the agency as may be requested.

     4. In order to propose an order of rulemaking to the general assembly, the agency shall comply with the provisions of section 536.021, except that the agency may file a proposed order of rulemaking with the secretary of state only by first filing such proposed order with the general assembly by providing a copy thereof to the secretary of the senate and the clerk of the house of representatives. The president pro tem of the senate shall direct that a copy of the proposed order of rulemaking be delivered to the joint committee on administrative rules which may hold hearings thereon. The agency shall cooperate with the committee by providing any witnesses, documents or information within the control of the agency as may be requested.

     5. Such proposed order of rulemaking shall not become effective prior to the expiration of thirty legislative days of a regular session after such order is filed with the secretary of state and the general assembly.

     6. The committee may, by majority vote of its members, recommend that the general assembly disapprove and annul any rule or portion thereof contained in an order of rulemaking after hearings thereon and, upon a finding that such rule or portion thereof should be disapproved and annulled upon the following grounds:

     (1) Such rule is substantive in nature in that it creates rights or liabilities or provides for sanctions as to any person, corporation or other legal entity; and

     (2) Such rule or portion thereof is not in the public interest or is not authorized by the general assembly for one or more of the following grounds:

     (a) An absence of statutory authority for the proposed rule;

     (b) The proposed rule is in conflict with state law;

     (c) Such proposed rule is likely to substantially endanger the public health, safety or welfare;

     (d) The rule exceeds the purpose, or is more restrictive than is necessary to carry out the purpose, of the statute granting rulemaking authority;

     (e) A substantial change in circumstance has occurred since enactment of the law upon which the proposed rule is based as to result in a conflict between the purpose of the law and the proposed rule, or as to create a substantial danger to public health and welfare;

     (f) The proposed rule is so arbitrary and capricious as to create such substantial inequity as to be unreasonably burdensome on persons affected.

     7. Any recommendation or report issued by the committee pursuant to subsection 6 of this section shall be admissible as evidence in any judicial proceeding and entitled to judicial notice without further proof.

     8. The general assembly may adopt a concurrent resolution in accordance with the provisions of article IV, section 8 of the Missouri constitution to disapprove and annul any rule or portion thereof upon one or more of the grounds stated in subsection 6 of this section.

     9. Any rule or portion thereof not disapproved within thirty legislative days of a regular session pursuant to subsection 8 of this section shall be deemed approved by the general assembly and the secretary of state may publish such order of rulemaking as soon as practicable upon the expiration of thirty legislative days of a regular session after the order of rulemaking was filed with the secretary of state and the general assembly.

     10. Upon adoption of such concurrent resolution as provided in subsection 8 of this section, the secretary of state shall not publish the order of rulemaking until the expiration of time necessary for such resolution to be signed by the governor, or vetoed and subsequently acted upon by the general assembly pursuant to article III, section 32 of the Missouri Constitution. If such concurrent resolution is adopted and signed by the governor or reconsidered pursuant to article III, section 32, the secretary of state shall publish in the Missouri Register, as soon as practicable, the order of rulemaking along with notice of the proposed rules or portions thereof which are disapproved and annulled by the general assembly.

     11. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1.140, RSMo, the provisions of this section are nonseverable and the delegation of legislative authority to an agency to propose orders of rulemaking is essentially dependent upon the powers vested with the general assembly as provided herein. If any of the powers vested with the general assembly to review, to delay the effective date or to disapprove and annul a rule or portion of a rule contained in an order of rulemaking, are held unconstitutional or invalid, the purported grant of rulemaking authority and any rule so proposed and contained in the order of rulemaking pursuant thereto shall be invalid and void.

     12. Nothing in this section shall prevent the general assembly from adopting by bill within thirty legislative days of a regular session the rules or portions thereof, or as the same may be amended, as contained in a proposed order of rulemaking. In that event, the proposed order of rulemaking shall have been superseded and any rule proposed therein shall be void and only such rules adopted by the general assembly and submitted to the governor may become effective. Rules so adopted shall be published by the secretary of state as soon as practicable. In that event, the secretary of state shall not publish the proposed order of rulemaking and such proposed order of rulemaking shall be invalid and void.

     13. Upon adoption of any rule now in effect or hereafter promulgated, any such rule or portion thereof may be revoked by the general assembly either by bill, or by concurrent resolution pursuant to article IV, section 8 of the constitution on recommendation of the committee on administrative rules upon the grounds listed in subsection 6 of this section. The secretary of state shall publish in the Missouri Register, as soon as practicable, notice of the revocation."; and
