Modifies motor vehicle inspection requirements
HB 1983 revises Missouri's vehicle registration process by changing how odometer information from inspections is handled. It requires the state director of revenue to retain odometer readings for qualifying vehicles (10 years old or newer, model year 2000 or newer, or under 150,000 miles) and provide access to that data for 10 years, provided the vehicle was registered after specific dates. The bill also adds specific requirements for reconstructed, salvage, or specially constructed vehicles when applying for a new title. This change primarily affects vehicle owners during registration and title applications, without altering inspection frequency or safety standards.
