HP0597, LD 823, item 2, ‘An Act To Exempt Vehicles That Are 20 Years Old or Older from Titling Requirements When the Vehicles Are Recycled, Salvaged or Scrapped’

Amend the bill by striking out the title and substituting the following:

‘An Act To Exempt Vehicles That Are 20 Years Old or Older from Titling Requirements When the Vehicles Are Recycled, Salvaged or Scrapped’

Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and inserting the following:

‘Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §652, sub-§18, as enacted by PL 2015, c. 88, §3, is amended to read:

18. Vehicle model year at least 20 years old. A vehicle that is model year 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 or 1999 that is at least 20 years old according to its model year at the time of sale or transfer of ownership to a recycler, salvage vehicle dealer or scrap processor if:

A. A The recycler, salvage vehicle dealer or scrap processor obtains the seller's name and the address of the seller's residence from a government-issued photograph identification document or credential and maintains the seller's name and address and vehicle identification number of the scrapped vehicle for a period of at least one year; and

B. A The recycler, salvage vehicle dealer or scrap processor reports the destruction of the vehicle to the Secretary of State within 30 days in a manner prescribed by the Secretary of State.

This subsection applies only to vehicles that are scrapped. For purposes of this subsection, a government-issued photograph identification document or credential includes, but is not limited to, a current and valid United States passport, military identification, driver's license or nondriver identification card.’

Amend the bill by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or section number to read consecutively.

summary

This amendment strikes and replaces the bill. The amendment, rather than exempting all vehicles more than 15 years old from titling requirements, allows a vehicle that is at least 20 years old according to its model year to be recycled, salvaged or scrapped without a certificate of title.
