SB 818 - This act modifies the process for issuing temporary permits to motor vehicle owners. Under the terms of the act, the director of revenue is authorized to allow others to produce new temporary permits that allow buyers of motor vehicle or trailers to operate such vehicles for a 30 day period. The price paid by a registered dealer for a temporary permit shall not exceed $5.00 per permit (current law sets the amount at $7.50). Under the act, amounts received by the director for temporary permits constitute state revenue while amounts received by authorized producers shall not constitute state revenue. Amounts received by dealers for temporary permits purchased from authorized producers shall not constitute state revenue. The act specifically provides that general revenue funds or other state funds shall not be used to compensate motor vehicle dealers and other producers for their role in producing temporary permits. Dealers may not charge more than $5.00 for each permit it issues (down from $7.50). The act allows the director to reissue and extend the use of a temporary permit during the time period a title and registration are being obtained (Section 301.140). This provision is contained in HB 1329 (2012). STEPHEN WITTE
