Bill > HB3316

This bill modifies various provisions related to motor vehicle registration and titling in Missouri, aiming to modernize and streamline processes, particularly concerning sales tax collection, vehicle inspections, and dealer licensing. Key changes include requiring motor vehicle dealers to collect and remit sales tax on vehicles sold, with a provision for dealers to retain a small percentage of the collected tax, and clarifying that out-of-state purchasers will still be subject to Missouri sales tax if the vehicle is delivered or picked up in the state. The bill also adjusts penalties for delinquent vehicle registrations, increases certain registration fees, and updates definitions for various vehicle types. It introduces new requirements for registered fleet owners, including a surety bond or letter of credit, and modifies rules regarding the transfer of license plates and the issuance of temporary permits, now referred to as "interim plates." Furthermore, the bill revises requirements for disabled person license plates and placards, including extending the renewal period for placards to eight years, and makes changes to vehicle inspection requirements, including the elimination of separate inspections based on model year for safety and emissions. The implementation of many of these changes is contingent upon the development and maintenance of a modernized, integrated system for vehicle titling, registration, and driver's licensing.
