Description

Under existing law, persons holding a current automotive dismantler and parts recycler license or their agents or employees can buy at a salvage pool or salvage disposal sale provided they have a buyer's identification card.

This bill would revise the qualifications for buying at a salvage pool or salvage disposal sale and would require operators to maintain certain records pertaining to sales at salvage pools or salvage disposal sales.

This bill would require notice to a purchaser that a motor vehicle for which a salvage or junk certificate has been issued by this state or other state may not be driven or operated on the highways or other public places of this state, except under certain conditions relating to restoration of the vehicle.

This bill would also require the licensee to deposit a bond with the Commissioner of Revenue that is the same as the bond required for motor vehicle dealers and would authorize the department, by rule, to allow a bond obtained by a motor vehicle dealer to serve in lieu of the required bond for automotive dismantler and parts recycler licensees.
