HS SS SCS SB 1233, 840 & 1043 -- MOTOR VEHICLES

This bill changes the laws regarding motor vehicles.

DRIVEAWAY OPERATIONS

The definition of "driveaway operation" is modified to include
the transporting of vehicles from one place to another by
driveaway or towaway methods or by any person who is lawfully
engaged in the business of transporting or delivering vehicles
that are not their own or vehicles that are required to be
registered by the driveaway or towaway methods from the point of
manufacture, assembly, or distribution or from the owner of the
vehicle to a dealer or sales agent of the manufacturer or to any
consignee designated by the shipper or consignor.

Driveaway license plates may only be used for the purpose of
transporting vehicles and may not be used by tow truck operators
moving wrecked, disabled, abandoned, improperly parked, or burned
vehicles.

The bill also extends the area of operation for a land
improvement contractors' commercial motor vehicle from 25 miles
to 50 miles when transporting its owner's machinery, equipment,
or supplies to and from projects involving soil and water
conservation or to and from the dealer for maintenance.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

Beginning July 1, 2005, the bill allows the Director of the
Department of Revenue to refuse to issue or renew a motor vehicle
registration if the owner owes vehicle-related fees or fines to
St. Louis City or Kansas City.  The notification and appeals
process are specified.

VEHICLE-RELATED FINES

Certain cites are allowed to collect traffic fines, parking
fines, towing and vehicle immobilization fees, and the associated
penalties and court costs at the same time as a taxpayer's
personal property taxes.

TRADE-IN CREDITS

The bill removes the restriction requiring a person trading in an
article to be the owner or holder of a properly assigned
certificate of ownership for trade-in credit or partial payment
on a motor vehicle, trailer, boat, or outboard motor.

HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

Two members, one from each opposing political party, who have the
most seniority will serve as commission chair and vice chair
until March 1, 2005.  Then the commission will elect the two
senior members from the opposing political parties to serve as
chair and vice chair for one year.  The following year and
thereafter the chair and vice chair will rotate positions.

CHIEF COUNSEL

The chief counsel is placed under the direction of the Director
of Transportation, with the consent of the Highways and
Transportation Commission.  The chief counsel currently is
directed by the commission.

EMINENT DOMAIN

When the Highways and Transportation Commission acquires real
estate through eminent domain, the restriction or loss of access
to any adjacent highway must be considered when assessing
damages.  Restriction or loss of access includes the prohibition
of making right or left turns into or out of the real estate
involved if access was present before the proposed improvement
was built.

LOCAL LOG TRUCK TRACTORS

A "local log truck tractor" is defined as a commercial motor
vehicle used exclusively in Missouri to transport harvested
forest products from a site in an area extending not more than a
50-mile radius and operating with a weight not exceeding 22,400
pounds on one axle or 44,800 pounds on any tandem axle.  When
operating on an interstate highway system, the vehicle will have
to abide by the weight restrictions provided by law and not have
more than three axles and not pull a trailer which has more than
two axles.

REISSUANCE OF LICENSE PLATES

An advisory committee is established within the Department of
Revenue to design new plates.  The advisory committee will
consist of the Director of the Department of Revenue, the
Superintendent of the State Highway Patrol, the Missouri
Vocational Enterprises Administrator, and the chairpersons of the
Senate and House of Representatives transportation committees.
The committee must hold at least three public meetings around the
state and must adopt the final design by April 1, 2006.  The
Department of Revenue, beginning January 1, 2007, will issue new
license plates.  The department may charge a fee, up to $2.50 or
$1.25 for vehicles requiring a single plate, to cover the cost of
reissuance.

TABS

Beginning January 1, 2009, tabs will be produced and issued on
demand in each license bureau office.  The numbers recorded on
the tab must be the same number that appears on the license
plate.

PERSONALIZED LICENSE PLATES

The restriction that personalized plates not exceed six
characters in length is removed.  The bill adds language
regarding the type of vehicles that can display personalized
license plates and changes the requirement that a temporary
permit instead of a stock plate be issued until the personalized
license plate is available.

SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES

The bill allows for the issuance of the following special license
plates:

"MARCH OF DIMES," "NAACP," "MISSOURI STATE SOCIETY DAUGHTERS OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION," "MISSOURI AGRICULTURE," "FORMER
MISSOURI LEGISLATOR," "FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER," "SPECIAL
OLYMPICS MISSOURI," "BE AN ORGAN DONOR," "FOXTROTTER-STATE
HORSE," "TO PROTECT AND SERVE," "THE MASTERS," "FRIENDS OF
YOUTH," "MISSOURI SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS," "ALPHA PHI
OMEGA," "BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA," "WE SHALL NOT FORGET," "DELTA
TAU DELTA," "CAMP QUALITY-FUN FOR KIDS WITH CANCER," "SEARCH AND
RESCUE," "THETA CHI FRATERNITY," "U. S. VET," and "WINNING
WOMEN."

The bill also allows for a Lewis and Clark license plate for
supporters of the Missouri Travel Council and makes changes to
the "AMATEUR RADIO," "KINGDOM OF CALONTIR," "FIREFIGHTER,"
"CONSERVATION HERITAGE," and "CHILDREN'S TRUST FUND" license
plates.

The Joint Committee on Transportation Oversight will review for
approval or denial all applications for the development of
specialty plates.  Approval must be by unanimous vote.  The
committee will not approve any application if they receive a
signed petition from five members of the House of Representatives
or two members of the Senate stating their opposition to the
proposed license plate.  The committee will notify the Department
of Revenue upon approval or denial of an application.

No special plates will be issued until 200 applications have been
received and the organization deposits with the Department of
Revenue a fee of up to $5,000 to defray the cost of issuing,
developing, and programming the implementation of the specialty
plate.

Biennial registration is allowed for speciality plates.

SALVAGE MOTOR VEHICLES

The definition of "salvage vehicle" is revised to include any
motor vehicle, semitrailer, or house trailer which has been
damaged to the extent that the total cost of repairs to rebuild
the vehicle to its condition immediately before it was damaged
exceeds 75% of the fair market value of the vehicle prior to the
damage.

The total cost of repairs to rebuild or reconstruct a vehicle
will not include the cost of repairing, replacing, or
reinstalling inflatable safety restraints, tires, sound systems,
or any sales tax on parts or material to rebuild or reconstruct a
vehicle.  The bill also defines "fair market value."

Insurance companies are allowed to obtain a clear title without a
salvage designation on a stolen vehicle which has not sustained
damage to the extent that the vehicle would have been declared a
salvage vehicle (75% threshold).  After the stolen vehicle has
been inspected by the State Highway Patrol and the insurance
company returns any previously issued salvage certificate, the
department will issue a title without the salvage designation.

The bill allows insurance companies who purchase a vehicle
through the claims adjustment process for which they are unable
to obtain a negotiable title to apply for a salvage certificate
of title.

If a salvage certificate of title has been issued for the same
vehicle but no prior inspection and verification has been made in
this state, an inspection and a verification of the vehicle
identification number will be conducted by the highway patrol
before an original Missouri certificate of ownership is issued.

A junking certificate of title may be issued to the possessor of
a vehicle manufactured 26 years or more prior to the current
model year who has a bill of sale as long as no claim of theft
has been made on the vehicle.

Salvage titles may be negotiable with one reassignment on the
back of the title by a registered dealer or an insurance company.

Certification by a member of the highway patrol is required to
license a salvage motor vehicle dealer.  In first classification
counties, however, the certification may be performed by a
metropolitan police officer.

Salvage motor vehicle dealer licenses are required to be renewed
biennially instead of annually and the $65 annual fee changes to
$130 for a biennial license.

RECONSTRUCTED MOTOR VEHICLES

The Department of Revenue will issue a reconstructed motor
vehicle certificate of ownership for a vehicle classified as a
reconstructed motor vehicle 40 years or older with a value of up
to $3,000 upon the submission of a application including:

(1)  An affidavit explaining how the vehicle was acquired and, if
applicable, the reason a valid certificate of ownership cannot be
furnished;

(2)  Photo copies of receipts, bills of sale, or titles and the
source of all major component parts used to rebuild the vehicle;

(3)  A $150 fee in addition to the regular fees; and

(4)  An inspection from the highway patrol or other law
enforcement agency authorized by the Director of the Department
of Revenue.

TRANSFER NOTICES

A transfer notice procedure is established when a person sells or
transfers an interest in a motor vehicle or trailer.  Transferors
must notify the department within 30 days of the transfer on a
form developed by the department.  Transfers to and from motor
vehicle dealers will be exempt from the provisions.  The notice
does not constitute an assignment or release of any interest in
the vehicle or trailer.  Retail sales including sales of new
vehicles made by licensed dealers will be reported pursuant to
the monthly sales report law.  Upon receipt of the notice, the
department will change its records to reflect the transfer.
Until a new title is issued for the transferred motor vehicle or
trailer, the department must provide the owner's name on the
title and indicate that the records show a notification of
transfer but do not show a title transfer.  The department must
also provide the name of the transferee if it is available.  If
the department does not receive a title application from the
named transferee within 60 days of receiving the transfer notice,
the department will notify the transferee to apply for title.  A
person will be guilty of a class C misdemeanor if he or she
knowingly submits false information on the transfer notice.
Sellers of motor vehicles or trailers who fail to provide a
transfer notice will be guilty of an infraction.  These
provisions become effective January 1, 2006.

BENEFICIARY TRANSFER

A beneficiary is allowed to make one reassignment of a title upon
the death of the owner without transferring the title to the
beneficiary.

MONTHLY SALES REPORTS

The department is allowed to levy penalties against dealers who
fail to file monthly sales reports or file them untimely.
Delinquent filers will be subject to the disciplinary provisions
or a penalty up to $300 per violation.  The bill allows the
reports to be filed electronically after January 1, 2006.
Dealers selling 20 or more motor vehicles per month will be
required to file the reports beginning January 1, 2007.  Dealers
electronically filing their monthly sales report are exempt from
filing the notice of transfer and those who do not will submit
the notice with their monthly sales report.

RECREATIONAL VEHICLE DEALER SHOWS

Out-of-state recreational vehicle dealers who wish to participate
in a vehicle show or exhibition are required to notify the
Department of Revenue at least 30 days prior to the event.  The
department must then determine if the dealer complies with
Missouri's laws.  If the dealer does not comply, the department
must notify the dealer at least 15 days prior to the event of its
inability to participate.  The department may assess a fine up to
$1,000 for any violation.

TOWING COMPANIES

Towing companies performing law enforcement requested tows and
nonconsensual private property tows must meet the following
requirements:

(1)  Maintain a verifiable business address or storefront;

(2)  Maintain a fenced, secure, and lighted storage lot or an
enclosed, secure building;

(3)  Be available 24 hours a day and seven days a week;

(4)  Maintain an insurance policy or other form of security in
the amount of at least $500,000 per incident;

(5)  Provide workers' compensation for all employees, if required
to do so by law; and

(6)  Maintain current motor vehicle registrations on all of the
towing fleet.

Second, third, and fourth classification counties are exempt from
the towing standards.

Towing companies are allowed to electronically access department
records when attempting to determine the owner of abandoned
property.

ABANDONED PROPERTY

The current criminal statute on abandoning a motor vehicle is
modified.  The last owner of record of a motor vehicle will be
deemed prima facie to have been the owner of the motor vehicle at
the time of abandonment unless the person has filed notice with
the department that the person's interest in the motor vehicle
has been transferred.  The registered owner will not be subject
to penalties if the motor vehicle was in the care, custody, or
control of another person at the time of the violation and
submits an affidavit naming the person who was in control of the
car.  The affidavit will raise a rebuttable presumption that the
named person was in control of the vehicle, and the court can
then terminate the prosecution.  If the vehicle is alleged to
have been stolen, the owner must submit a police report.  Any
person convicted of abandoning a motor vehicle will be liable for
all towing and storage charges, and the liability will remain
even if the motor vehicle is sold pursuant to a towing lien.

The City of Kansas City is allowed to adopt by ordinance
regulations for the removal and sale of abandoned property by
requiring:  (1)  the department to search the records to
determine ownership of the abandoned property; (2)  notification
to the owner by mail advising of the towing and impoundment; (3)
vehicles older than six years and more than 50% damaged by
collision, fire, or decay that are valued at less than $200 be
held at least 10 days before being sold to a licensed salvage or
scrap business; and (4)  all other vehicles be held at least 30
days before being sold.

A law enforcement officer is authorized to remove property
abandoned on the right-of-way of an interstate highway which is
left unattended for four hours, instead of 10 hours, if the
abandoned property is a serious hazard to other motorists.
Property abandoned on the right-of-way of an interstate highway
outside of an urbanized area which is left unattended for four
hours, instead of 48 hours, if it is a serious hazard to other
motorists may also be removed.

RAILROAD CROSSINGS

Operators of commercial motor vehicles are required to reduce
their speed and be sure that a railroad track is clear.

SCHOOL BUS ENDORSEMENTS

Individuals who operate a school bus must have a school bus
endorsement on their driver's license.  In order to obtain a
school bus endorsement, an applicant must submit two sets of
fingerprints.  One set of prints will be used by the State
Highway Patrol to search the criminal history repository, and the
second set will be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation for searching the federal criminal history files.
The applicant will pay the fees for the state criminal history
information and the federal criminal history record.  Any person
who possesses a valid driver's license from another state with a
valid school bus endorsement and who is otherwise qualified to
receive a school bus endorsement in this state will be issued the
permit.

This provision becomes effective September 30, 2005.

STREET ROD AND CUSTOM VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

New registration procedures are established for street rods and
custom vehicles.  The bill spells out when and what type of
vehicle may qualify under these categories.  The annual fee will
be $15 in addition to the regular registration fees.  Owners of
these vehicles must certify at the time of registration that the
vehicles will be maintained for occasional transportation,
exhibits, club activities, parades, tours, and similar uses and
will not be used for daily transportation.  New vehicle owners
must show proof at the time of registration that the vehicle has
passed a safety inspection.  Other owners are exempt from
periodic vehicle inspections and emission tests.  License plates
for these vehicles will bear the words "STREET ROD" or "CUSTOM
VEHICLE."  A street rod or custom vehicle may use blue dot tail
lights for stop lamps, rear turning indicator lamps, rear hazard
lamps, and rear reflectors.

COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

The statutory provisions regulating commercial motor vehicle
registration are moved from the Highway Reciprocity Commission to
the Highways and Transportation Commission.  The move was
necessitated because of reorganization under the Governor's
Executive Order 02-03 (February 7, 2002).

The Highways and Transportation Commission is allowed to
establish procedures for the quarterly staggering of annual
commercial motor vehicle registrations.

COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSES

The bill creates the following crimes:

(1)  Driving a commercial motor vehicle while revoked if a person
operates a commercial motor vehicle and a prior violation has
caused a license to be revoked, suspended, canceled, or the
driver is disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle.
Any person convicted of driving a commercial motor vehicle while
revoked is guilty of a class A misdemeanor;

(2)  Driving a commercial motor vehicle on a fourth or subsequent
offense with commercial driving privileges revoked or suspended,
with no prior alcohol-related enforcement contacts, and the
defendant waived the right to an attorney and the prior three
offenses occurred within 10 years and the person served a 10-day
sentence on the previous offenses is a class D felony;

(3)  Driving a commercial motor vehicle while intoxicated with
commercial driving privileges revoked on the third and subsequent
offense and the defendant waived the right to an attorney and the
two prior offenses occurred within 10 years and the person
received a 10-day sentence or more is a class D felony;

(4)  Driving a commercial motor vehicle while intoxicated with
commercial driving privileges revoked on the second or subsequent
conviction is a class D felony; and

(5)  Driving a commercial motor vehicle while revoked on a fourth
or subsequent conviction for other offenses is a class D felony.

Holders of a commercial driver's license (CDL) are allowed to
avoid the assessment of points upon the completion of a
driver-improvement program.  They will not be allowed limited
driving privileges for a commercial vehicle if their driving
privileges are suspended, revoked, canceled, denied, or
disqualified.  However, they will be allowed to obtain a limited
driving privilege for a noncommercial motor vehicle.

The bill adds the following requirements when processing a CDL
license:

(1)  Applicants for a CDL must disclose the names of all states
which have issued them a CDL during the previous 10-year period;

(2)   The Director of the Department of Revenue is required to
obtain driving record information from any state licensing system
in which the person had been issued a license before the initial
issuance of a CDL and for the first renewal; and

(3)  A CDL driving record must contain a complete history of the
driver, including information and convictions from previous
licensing states.

The definition of "disqualification" is modified to include
suspension and revocation of commercial driver's licenses,
withdrawal of driving privileges, or a determination by the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator that the driver is not
qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle.  The bill also
modifies the definition of "commercial motor vehicle" to include
vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers instead of
15 as provided by the current law; the definition of "driving
under the influence of alcohol" to include offenses committed
while driving a commercial or noncommercial motor vehicle; and
the definition of "serious traffic violation" to include driving
a commercial motor vehicle without obtaining a CDL license,
driving a commercial motor vehicle without a CDL in the person's
possession, or driving a commercial motor vehicle without the
proper endorsement for the type of vehicle being driven or cargo
being transported.  The director is required to disqualify any
driver the United States Secretary of Transportation has
determined to constitute an imminent hazard.  Individuals who
drive a commercial motor vehicle without their CDL in their
possession will be guilty of a class A misdemeanor although a
person may later submit proof of proper license to the court.
Driving a commercial motor vehicle in a manner which causes a
fatality due to their negligent operation will disqualify the
driver.

Any driver who violates an out-of-service order is subject to a
civil penalty not to exceed an amount determined by the
United States Secretary of Transportation in addition to the
disqualification.

Individuals who have been issued a CDL will not have the right to
have an alcohol-related offense expunged from their records.
Under the bill, a federal, state, county, municipal, or local
court cannot defer imposition of judgment, suspend imposition of
sentence, or allow an individual who possesses or is required to
possess a CDL to enter into a diversion program that will prevent
a conviction for any violation of any traffic law from appearing
on the driver's record maintained by the department to comply
with federal law.

The commercial driver license provisions become effective
September 30, 2005.

DIGITIZED IMAGES

A photo or digital image of a person's full facial features is
required on all driver's or nondriver's licenses unless the
person files an objection due to a religious affiliation.

LAWFUL PRESENCE

Beginning July 1, 2005, the director of the department will not
issue a driver's, nondriver's, or CDL license for a period that
exceeds an applicant's lawful presence in the United States.  The
director may establish procedures, by rule or regulation, to
verify the lawful presence of an applicant and establish the
duration of any license issued.  United States citizens will be
considered lawfully present regardless of their physical location
at any given time.

LICENSE FRAUD

Any person who commits or assists another person in committing
fraud or deception during any examination process or knowingly
conceals a material fact; provides information which contains or
is substantiated with false or fraudulent information or
documentation; or otherwise commits a fraud in an application for
an instruction permit, driver's, nondriver's, or commercial
driver's license or permit is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
This provision contains an emergency clause.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL PREEMPTION SYSTEMS

The use of traffic signal preemption systems which are used to
control traffic signals at intersections and in front of
emergency stations are regulated.  The bill allows these devices
to be used by:

(1)  Emergency vehicle operators during an emergency or to
control a traffic signal from a station where emergency vehicles
are housed;

(2)  Authorized bus operators to maintain a longer green light;
and

(3)  Authorized operators in a traffic signal maintenance vehicle
in order to facilitate traffic signal maintenance activities.

An unauthorized person using the device will be guilty of a class
B misdemeanor.

ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES

The definition of "all-terrain vehicle" (ATV) is changed to
include ATVs weighing up to 1,000 pounds and ATVs with a seat
designed to carry more than one person.  The bill also specifies
that current provisions for ATVs which prohibit carrying a
passenger will not apply to ATVs designed to carry more than one
person.

LOW-SPEED VEHICLES

Operators of low-speed vehicles are allowed to use public
highways under certain conditions.  A low-speed vehicle is a
four-wheeled vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per
hour but less than 25 miles per hour and is manufactured in
compliance with the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration standards.  It cannot be operated on a street or
highway with a posted speed limit greater than 35 miles per hour.
The vehicle will be exempt from inspection and emission testing,
but must comply with the federal standards.  Every operator of a
low-speed vehicle must maintain financial responsibility and have
a driver's license.  Cities and counties may promulgate
ordinances which are more stringent than the provisions in the
bill.

EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACTS

The bill regulates the sale of extended service contracts for the
repair, replacement, or maintenance of motor vehicles.  The bill
does not apply to warranties, maintenance agreements, commercial
transactions, and service contracts sold to non-consumers.  Those
providing service are required to demonstrate financial
responsibility by insuring the service contracts under
reimbursement insurance policies or by other means such as a
surety bond.  Service contract administrators are required to
register with the Department of Insurance.  The bill specifies
the requirements of a reimbursement policy for insuring a service
contract; the form and content of motor vehicle extended service
contracts; requires contract administrators to maintain certain
records; provides for civil penalties for violations; and gives
the director enforcement powers.

REGIONAL TAXICAB COMMISSION

The Regional Taxicab Commission is allowed to impose an
administrative penalty not to exceed $200.  The commission must
develop a schedule of penalties which will be available to the
public and taxicab drivers.  The bill allows the commission to
request a criminal history record check from the State Highway
Patrol.  Prospective taxicab drivers will submit two sets of
fingerprints to check the person's criminal history.  The
prospective or current driver must pay all appropriate fees for
the background check.  The bill allows the commission to require
taxicabs operating under its jurisdiction to display a special
license plate which will be issued by the Department of Revenue
and to confiscate the plates, if a license is revoked, and return
them to the department director.  The bill specifies the fee and
description on the plate.

LEMON LAW

Auto manufacturers, after settling with a consumer under the
Lemon Law provisions, are allowed to apply to the Department of
Revenue for a reimbursement equal to any amount refunded to the
consumer for any sales taxes, license fees, registration fees,
and title fees paid as a result of purchasing the vehicle.
Manufacturers may, in lieu of applying to the department, direct
the consumer to apply for the refund.  The department with
satisfactory proof of payment must refund the taxes and fees.

DISABLED PLATES, PLACARDS, AND PARKING SPACES

The procedures relating to obtaining an instruction permit,
driver's, or non-driver's license; obtaining a disabled license
plate and placard; and the use of designated disabled parking
spaces are revised.  The bill:

(1)  Changes the fraudulent procurement or use of a disabled
license plate or placard from a class C misdemeanor to a class B
misdemeanor;

(2)  Changes the penalty for certifying an individual for a
disabled plate or placard outside the practitioner's scope from a
class C misdemeanor to a class B misdemeanor and requires
certification to meet certain standards;

(3)  Allows other health care practitioners (chiropractors,
podiatrists, and optometrists) to certify individuals for
disabled license plates or placards;

(4)  Excludes age as a factor in determining whether a person is
entitled to a disabled license plate or placard;

(5)  Establishes record maintenance requirements for physicians
and health care practitioners who issue a physician's statement
for a disabled license plate or placard.  These records must be
open to inspection and review by the practitioner's licensing
board to verify compliance;

(6)  Requires a physician's statement to be on a form prescribed
by the Director of the Department of Revenue, state the specific
diagnosis which renders the person physically disabled, include
the physician's license number, and be signed by the physician or
health care practitioner;

(7)  Limits to two the number of removable windshield handicap
placards that may be issued by the director to any one person;

(8)  Increases the fee for removable windshield handicap placards
from $2 to $4;

(9)  Limits the use of the placard to when the person is in the
motor vehicle at the time of parking or when the person is being
delivered; and

(10)  Requires, beginning August 1, 2005, every applicant or
renewal for a disabled license plate or placard to present a new
physician's statement dated no more than 90 days prior to the
application.  Thereafter, the director must not renew
pre-existing disabled plates or placards unless the applicant
furnishes a new physician's statement every four years.

The disabled license plate, placard, and parking space provisions
of the bill become effective January 1, 2005.

RACIAL PROFILING

Currently, peace officers are required to make informational
reports concerning the age, gender, and race or minority group of
the individual stopped, as well as the nature of the stop and any
action taken on every motor vehicle stop involving violations of
any motor vehicle statute or ordinance.  The bill requires
reporting on every motor vehicle stop.  Peace officers who stop a
driver of a motor vehicle pursuant to a lawfully conducted
sobriety check point or road block will be exempt from the
reporting requirements.

OTHER PROVISIONS

The bill also contains provisions regarding width restriction
removal for implements of husbandry, use of headlights due to
weather conditions or fog, car rental agreements, court
suspension of a driver's license for passing a stopped school
bus, one assignment of vessels and outboard motors by a surviving
beneficiary or beneficiaries, titling outboard motors older than
a 1960 model, liability insurance requirements for Highways and
Transportation Commission equipment, exemption of certain
intrastate commercial motor vehicles from federal safety
regulations, flashing lights for commercial passenger transport
vehicles, Kansas City's commercial zone requirements, and the
transfer on death of a title on a manufactured home.
