Modifies provisions relating to motor vehicle inspections
SB 645 modifies Missouri's vehicle registration process by updating requirements for certificate of ownership applications. It mandates that owners apply for a certificate within 30 days of acquiring a vehicle (or 30 days after receiving dealer title), providing details like VIN, odometer reading, and lien information. The bill adds a $8.50 fee for new certificates, imposes a $25 delinquency penalty for late applications (capped at $200), and requires certificates to include anti-forgery features and odometer history. It directly affects all Missouri vehicle owners registering new or transferred vehicles, with penalties for noncompliance including registration cancellation. (Note: The bill's title references "motor vehicle inspections," but the actual provisions focus on ownership certificates, not inspections.)
