HB 3041 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to motor vehicle safety inspections required when an application is being made for a Missouri certificate of ownership

HB 3041 modifies Missouri's requirements for obtaining a certificate of ownership when registering a motor vehicle or trailer. It requires applicants to submit a completed application within 30 days of acquiring a vehicle (or receiving dealer title), including vehicle details, odometer reading, and lien information, with a $8.50 fee plus a $25 delinquency penalty for late applications (capped at $200). The bill also mandates specific certificate designations for reconstructed vehicles, requires odometer information on certificates, and specifies that out-of-state vehicles needing inspection must provide proof of prior inspection to avoid a $25 fee. This directly affects Missouri vehicle owners and dealers during title transfers.
