HCS/HB 1150 - Under the terms of this act, owners of rebuilt salvage vehicles which are 11 years of age or older who submit such vehicles to examinations conducted by the Highway Patrol in order to obtain certificates of ownership with prior salvage motor vehicle designations are not required to repair or restore such vehicles to their original appearance in order to pass or complete the vehicle examination (Section 301.190). This portion of the act is similar to SB 557 (2012). Under the terms of this act, a person who purchases a motor vehicle with a certificate of destruction, junking certificate, salvage certificate, or its equivalent, issued by another state, may apply for a salvage certificate of title from the Missouri Department of Revenue. Prior to making an application for the certificate of title, the owner must have the vehicle inspected by law enforcement. The application for the title must be accompanied by: (1) A statement explaining the circumstances by which the property came into the owner's possession; (2) A description of the property including the year, make, model, and vehicle identification number; the current location of the property; and the retail value of the property; (3) An inspection report of the vehicle by a law enforcement agency; and (4) A fee of $8.50. Once the requirements of the act are satisfied, the director shall issue an original certificate of title designated as prior salvage or a salvage certificate of title designated with the words "salvage" or junking certificate based on the condition of the property as stated in the inspection report.
