To amend chapter 301, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to salvage vehicles.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Chapter 301, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 301.194, to read as follows:

            301.194. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person who purchases a motor vehicle with a certificate of destruction, junking certificate, salvage certificate, or equivalent, issued by another state, may make an application to the department of revenue for a salvage certificate of title. Prior to making application for a certificate of title on a vehicle under this section, the owner shall have the vehicle inspected by law enforcement as provided in subsection 9 of section 301.190. The application for title shall be accompanied by:

            (1) A statement explaining the circumstances by which the property came into the owner's possession; a description of the property including the year, make, model, and vehicle identification number; the current location of the property; and the retail value of the property;

            (2) An inspection report of the vehicle by a law enforcement agency under subsection 9 of section 301.190; and

            (3) The fee prescribed in subsection 5 of section 301.190.

            2. Once the requirements of subsection 1 are satisfied, the director shall issue one of the following:

            (1) An original certificate of title designated as prior salvage if the vehicle examination certificate as provided in section 301.190 indicates the vehicle was previously in a salvaged condition or rebuilt; or

            (2) A salvage certificate of title designated with the words "salvage" or junking certificate based on the condition of the property as stated in the inspection report.
