Bill > SF3563

This bill establishes a process for vehicle registration tax refunds when a vehicle is returned to the manufacturer or dealer shortly after its initial transfer. A "returned vehicle" is defined as one that is required to be registered, is transferred by a manufacturer or dealer to a buyer or lessee (the "transferee"), and is then permanently transferred back to the *same* manufacturer or dealer within 30 days, with the transferee no longer having any right to use or possess it. The manufacturer or dealer receiving the returned vehicle must notify the state commissioner within ten days of the return, referencing the initial transfer and the transferee's registration application. Upon receiving this notice, the commissioner will cancel the vehicle's registration and issue a refund of any registration taxes the transferee paid on that vehicle within 30 days. This aims to prevent individuals from paying registration taxes on vehicles they have effectively returned and no longer possess.
