HB 799 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to Motor Vehicles

HB 799 repeals and replaces Missouri's existing motor vehicle registration rules with updated requirements. The bill mandates annual registration applications for vehicle owners, requiring details like vehicle identification numbers, horsepower, and odometer readings for model year 2012 or newer vehicles with under 150,000 miles. For these qualifying vehicles, the state must retain odometer data for ten years and provide public access to it alongside the vehicle's VIN. Additionally, owners of reconstructed, salvage, or specially constructed vehicles must submit extra documentation - including pictures, bills of sale, and component invoices - when applying for new titles. This directly affects most Missouri vehicle owners, particularly for passenger and commercial vehicles meeting the age/mileage criteria.
