FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety - Office of the Director and Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the Department of Insurance, Finance, and Professional Regulation state this proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective agencies.
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) state there will be an unknown decrease in revenue because the definition of salvage vehicle is being revised to exclude hail-damaged vehicles, which will result in a reduction in the number of salvage titles issued.
DOR will be required to revise policies, procedures, and forms and in addition, must notify dealers, salvage dealers, and insurance companies regarding this legislation. The cost for this notification will be $4,527.
Oversight assumes, based in information from DOR, that approximately 76,000 salvage titles are issued each year. Annual revenue is $646,000 (76,000 x $8.50). Salvage titles issued for vehicles no more than three years after the manufacturer's model year designation were as follows:
2005 5,067 x $8.50 = $43,070
2004 7,176 x $8.50 = $60,996
2003 8,526 x $8.50 = $72,471
Oversight assumes even if fifty percent of the salvage titles had been due to hail damage, that eliminating hail damaged vehicles as being eligible for a salvage title could decrease the number of salvage titles issued but revenue losses should not exceed $100,000 in any given year.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Fewer vehicles will be declared salvage which will impact the rebuilt vehicle industry. The value of these vehicles will increase since they will no longer be titled as salvage and consequently no longer branded "Prior Salvage".
FISCAL DESCRIPTION
§ 301.010.51- Revises the definition of salvage vehicle to one that has been damaged during a year that is no more than three years after the vehicle's model year and raises the damage limit from 75% to 80% of the fair market value of the vehicle immediately preceding the time it was damaged. Hail damage is excluded from the damage calculations.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
