Senate Committee Substitute

SCS/SB 633 - This act allows a scrap metal operator to purchase an inoperable motor vehicle that is at least 10 model years old without a title provided the scrap metal operator verifies with the Department of Revenue that no liens exist on the motor vehicle. The scrap metal operator must also submit a copy of the seller's state identification along with a bill of sale. The bill of sale, which must be designed by the director, shall certify that the motor vehicle is at least 10 model years old, is inoperable, and that the seller has the legal authority to sell the vehicle. Upon receipt of this information, the Department of Revenue shall cancel any certificate of title and registration for the motor vehicle. If the motor vehicle is at least 20 model years old, then the scrap metal operator does not have to verify whether liens exist on the motor vehicle.

This act is similar to HB 1064 (2012).
