In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor

Modifies provisions relating to motor vehicle inspection requirements for certain motor vehicles previously registered or titled in a state other than Missouri

Maddy summaryHB 1018 modifies Missouri's vehicle registration process for vehicles previously titled in another state. It requires owners to apply for a Missouri certificate of ownership within 30 days of acquiring the vehicle (or 30 days after receiving dealer title in specific cases) and undergo an inspection by the Missouri state highway patrol, unless they provide proof of a comparable inspection from the previous state. The inspection costs $25 (waivable with proof), and late applications incur a $25 penalty per 30-day period (capped at $200), with failure to comply risking registration cancellation. This applies directly to residents moving vehicles from out-of-state into Missouri.

Primary HB 2281

Modifies provisions relating to video service providers

Maddy summaryHB 2281 updates Missouri state law to clarify definitions and rules for municipal franchise fees charged to video service providers. The bill primarily affects cities, counties, and other local governments that authorize these companies to use public streets and rights-of-way. It replaces an older statute with a new one that provides specific definitions for terms like "video service," "gross revenues," and "household" to ensure consistent application of fees. A key provision strictly defines which charges count toward the fee base, explicitly excluding items such as equipment rentals, installation costs, and advertising revenue. The changes are designed to create a clearer legal framework for calculating fees without altering the fundamental requirement for providers to pay them.

Authorizes the conveyance of an easement on certain state property located in Laclede County

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the Missouri governor to transfer a 40-foot easement on specific state-owned land in Laclede County to the City of Lebanon. The property in question is a precisely defined parcel located along Fremont Road, and the transfer aims to allow the city to use this strip of land for its own purposes. The bill grants the commissioner of administration the authority to set reasonable terms for the transfer, such as the number of appraisals needed, while requiring the attorney general to approve the legal document used for the conveyance.

Primary HB 2317

In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor

Requires used motor vehicles to be inspected prior to any sale

Maddy summaryHB 2317 requires sellers of used motor vehicles in Missouri to obtain a new safety inspection certificate immediately before selling the vehicle, regardless of whether the car currently has a valid sticker. This rule applies to most used cars with over 40,000 miles driven in the last three years, though it excludes new vehicles, historic cars, motorcycles, and certain electric or heavy-duty models. The bill also mandates that vehicles sold for junk or salvage do not need an inspection at the time of sale, but they must be inspected again before they can be registered for regular use. Additionally, the legislation updates emissions testing rules by allowing dealers to sell inspected vehicles without an immediate follow-up test for 90 days and clarifies how emissions inspections interact with the standard biennial safety checks.
