DESCRIPTION
This act redefines "salvage vehicle" to include any vehicle which has been damaged to the extent that the total cost of repairs to rebuild or reconstruct the vehicle to its condition immediately before it was damaged for legal operation on the roads or highways exceeds 75% of the fair market value of the vehicle immediately preceding the time it was damaged. The act stipulates that the total cost of repairs not include the cost of repairing, replacing, or reinstalling tires, sound systems, or any sales tax for parts or materials.
This legislation states that a salvage title shall be negotiable with one reassignment on back by registered dealers or insurance companies only.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
