Bill > HB3148

This bill modifies Oklahoma's laws regarding motor vehicle titles and inspections, primarily by defining "unidentifiable" vehicles, clarifying who can perform inspections, and adjusting inspection requirements for certain sales. Specifically, it expands the definition of "unidentifiable" to include vehicles where the unique identification cannot be determined by specially trained law enforcement or employees of motor vehicle theft prevention agencies. It also clarifies that salvage pools authorized to store vehicles for insurance companies are considered "persons authorized by law" for the purpose of having vehicles with altered identification numbers. The bill also mandates inspections for vehicles sold at salvage pools, salvage disposal sales, or auctions, allowing these inspections to be conducted by employees of the salvage pool, auction, licensed dealer, or licensed automotive dismantler and parts recycler, with a reduced fee for these inspections that is remitted to Service Oklahoma. Furthermore, it allows for punitive actions, including suspension or revocation of licenses and fines, for non-compliance or falsified inspection forms, and clarifies that licensed dealers can reassign out-of-state titles for used vehicles after obtaining the required inspection form.
