Staff Analysis of the Legislation

House Bill 950

 

Chair's Name: Tom Rice

 

Committee: Motor Vehicles

 

House Sponsor: Alan Powell

HB 950 allows cars and motorcycles which are built with manufacturer’s kit or custom-built (as defined in the bill)  to be issued a certificate of title. Before a title can be issued, the vehicle’s owner must have the vehicle inspected to verify that there is a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) and that it complies with emissions standards and other state vehicle safety standards.

This committee substitute comes to the House Floor under the Open Rule.

Chairman Rice’s opinion of the legislation:

The Department of Revenue stopped issuing titles to “kit car” builders. Owners of that have registered these cars before were not able to do so now. This bill allows that capability subject to federal safety regulations. This also applies to custom built motorcycles
