Bill > SB1632

This bill modifies various provisions related to motor vehicles in Missouri, primarily concerning vehicle registration, titling, sales tax collection, and inspections. Key changes include updating the definition of "water-damaged vehicle" to include specific submersion criteria, adjusting the sales tax collection responsibilities for out-of-state vehicle sales made by Missouri dealers, and implementing a new system for issuing and renewing alternative fuel decals that aligns with vehicle registration periods. The bill also revises the fees for transferring license plates, increases the penalty for delinquent vehicle registrations, and updates the annual registration fees for passenger vehicles, motorcycles, motortricycles, and autocycles. Furthermore, it modifies requirements for disabled person license plates and placards, including extending the renewal period for placards and allowing for automatic renewal under certain conditions, and clarifies the process for obtaining interim plates for vehicle operation while permanent registration is pending. The bill also adjusts the minimum number of vehicle sales required for dealers to maintain their licenses and modifies the requirements for obtaining dealer license plates, while also making changes to the vehicle inspection and emissions testing requirements, including the frequency of inspections for certain vehicles and the conditions under which inspections are required for registration. Finally, it updates provisions related to the REAL ID Act, specifying that Missouri will not adopt future modifications to the Act that impose additional requirements on applications, document retention, or issuance of compliant licenses, and outlines procedures for handling and destroying collected data.
