HB 3051 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the Missouri Motor Vehicle Commission

HB 3051 is a definitional bill that establishes terminology for Missouri's motor vehicle licensing system, not a new policy. It defines key terms like "Missouri Motor Vehicle Commission" (referencing an existing commission under Section 301.552), "motor vehicle dealer" (requiring 8 annual vehicle sales to maintain licensure), and "boat dealer" (requiring 8 annual vessel sales). The bill does not create new regulations or funding but sets standardized definitions for existing licensing rules governing dealers, manufacturers, and brokers. It directly affects businesses selling vehicles or boats in Missouri, including dealers who must meet annual sales thresholds to renew licenses. The bill is procedural and does not enact substantive changes to motor vehicle law.
