Bill > SB333

This bill allows certain motor vehicles to be registered permanently in Missouri by allowing vehicle owners to pay seven times the standard annual registration fees upfront in exchange for a permanent vehicle registration. The permanent registration is vehicle-specific and non-transferable, meaning if the vehicle is sold, the registration is cancelled and the license plates must be returned to the Department of Revenue. The fees for permanent registration include standard vehicle registration fees, any special license plate emblem-use authorization fees, and compensation fees for Department of Revenue fee offices. The Department of Revenue is authorized to issue distinctive registration tabs to indicate permanent registration status and can create rules to implement this new registration option. The bill specifies that the permanent registration is optional and applies only to non-apportioned motor vehicles that are otherwise eligible for standard annual registration. This change provides vehicle owners with a potentially convenient alternative to annual registration renewal by allowing a one-time, comprehensive payment for vehicle registration.
