Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Motorcycle dealers gain inventory buyback rights
Motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle dealers can choose manufacturer buybacks after covered franchise terminations, cancellations, nonrenewals, or distribution changes. Vehicles must be new, undamaged, unsold, and have fewer than 20 miles. They must be current-model-year vehicles or bought within 120 days before the termination or nonrenewal notice. Parts and accessories must be new, unused, undamaged, unsold, and in the current parts catalog. Signs must be undamaged and bought from the manufacturer or at its request. Special tools and equipment must be usable, in good condition, recommended in writing and designated as special, and bought from the manufacturer or at its request within three years before termination. Manufacturers must repurchase qualifying property within 30 days after termination and pay within 90 days after tender and proof of clear title.
Conservation plate donations get easier
Vehicle owners can apply for conservation heritage emblem authorization when registering their vehicle through Missouri’s Department of Revenue. They can pay the $25 contribution at the same time. The department deposits that money to the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation. This adds a payment option without changing the contribution amount.
More military members qualify for plates
Current Space Force and National Guard members can apply for special military license plates. Veterans honorably discharged after serving in either group can also apply. People currently serving in the reserves of a listed military branch also qualify. Other eligibility rules and applicable fees remain in place.
Parole officer families gain record privacy
Missouri’s Department of Revenue must protect home addresses and vehicle-identifying information for active and retired parole officers and their immediate families. The protection covers county, state, and federal parole officers. The person must notify the department of their status and request protection. Disclosure remains subject to the law’s exceptions, including those allowed by federal law.
More flexibility for cotton trailer operators
Cotton trailers no longer need to carry cotton exclusively to qualify under the law. The definition raises the speed threshold from below 40 to below 70 miles per hour. Covered trips run field to field, or field to market and back. On those trips below 70 miles per hour, trailers receive an exception from the specified cargo-cover and securement violation. Nothing can fall from the trailer, and cargo must meet at least one listed condition for immobilization, containment, or securement under federal law.
Tighter temporary permit rules for buyers
Most temporary vehicle and trailer permits last up to 30 days; a specified dealer-sale permit allows up to 60 days. The law removes the former 90-day dealer permit period, and temporary permits cost no more than $5. Buyers applying through Missouri’s Department of Revenue or its agents must have no plate available to transfer. They must show proof of purchase and financial responsibility, such as insurance. Applicable vehicle taxes become a permit condition only after the department announces that its integrated system makes implementation technologically feasible.
Trailer dealer fees gain consumer safeguards
Trailer dealers come under document and administrative fee rules for new and used trailer sales or leases. Dealers cannot charge for filling in standard forms, but can charge administrative fees capped at $500, adjusted annually for inflation without decreases. Fees must be uniform across retail customers unless franchise agreements limit them, and listed separately on purchase orders and preliminary worksheets. A clear notice must say the fee is not a government fee or payment for legal services and can produce dealer profit. Dealers send 10% of authorized fees to the technology fund for system development; after implementation, the maintenance share rises from 1% to 3.5%, and these fee provisions expire January 1, 2037.
