Prohibits the act of registering a motor vehicle in another state with the intent to circumvent the titling and registration requirements of this state

HB 2977 prohibits Missouri residents from registering a motor vehicle in another state solely to avoid Missouri's titling and registration requirements. It directly affects individuals or entities attempting to circumvent Missouri's vehicle registration laws by registering elsewhere. The bill repeals existing registration law and adds new provisions (sections 301.092-301.094) with penalties for violating this rule. Key mechanisms include clear definitions of prohibited conduct and enforcement through the Department of Revenue. This is a straightforward policy change to ensure all vehicles registered in Missouri comply with state-specific rules.
