SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Titling requirements for nonrepairable vehicles; sale to certain auto recyclers. Establishes a process whereby an insurance company can obtain a nonrepairable certificate for a vehicle acquired through the claims process without first obtaining a title or salvage certificate for such vehicle, provided that the insurance company is unable to obtain the assigned title or salvage certificate from the insured and has determined the vehicle to be a nonrepairable vehicle, any lien on the vehicle has been satisfied, and the vehicle is being sold to a demolisher, salvage dealer, or scrap metal processor for the purpose of recycling parts, dismantling, demolishing, or recycling for scrap. This bill is identical to HB 1661.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Vehicle documentation; licensed auto recyclers. Authorizes licensed auto recyclers to demolish a motor vehicle without obtaining a certificate of title, salvage certificate, or nonrepairable certificate if such motor vehicle was purchased from an insurance company and such insurance company made a total loss payment on the motor vehicle. Current law authorizes such demolition if the subject motor vehicle is a model year that is at least 10 years older than the current model year.
