Bill Summary
Modifies provisions relating to vehicle registration
AI Summary
This bill establishes an "amnesty period" from August 28, 2026, to December 1, 2026, for Missouri residents who owe state and local taxes on vehicles that should have been titled and registered in Missouri but were instead registered in another state to avoid these requirements. During this period, eligible taxpayers can apply for full amnesty from late fees and penalties related to these past-due taxes, provided the vehicle purchase occurred before August 28, 2026. The Department of Revenue will issue a certificate of eligibility to those who qualify and will facilitate the issuance of proper title and registration. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions for various vehicle types and introduces new provisions to prevent Missouri residents from circumventing titling and registration requirements by registering vehicles in other states, either directly or through shell companies, and outlines penalties, including driver's license suspension, for non-compliance, though the director of revenue may waive penalties under certain circumstances.
