Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-21-18, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Allow Used Motor Vehicle Parts Dealers And Scrap Metal Processors To Use Third-party Vendors That Meet The Requirements Of The Department Of Revenue, As An Alternative To Using The Department Of Revenue's Automated Statewide Motor Vehicle Registration System, For The Purpose Of Complying With Their Duty To Verify The Absence Of Any Lien On A Motor Vehicle Before It May Be Purchased Or Received For Scrapping, Dismantling Or Destruction; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill allows used motor vehicle parts dealers and scrap metal processors in Mississippi to use third-party vendors, in addition to the Department of Revenue's (DOR) existing automated statewide motor vehicle registration system, to verify that a vehicle has no liens before it is purchased or processed for scrapping. This change aims to provide an alternative method for these businesses to meet their legal obligation to check for liens, as required by Section 63-21-39(1)(a) of the Mississippi Code, ensuring they comply with the law while potentially offering more flexibility in their operations.
