HB 3316 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to motor vehicle registration

This bill revises Missouri's motor vehicle registration and sales tax rules. It requires vehicle owners to provide proof of sales tax payment (or exemption) when registering vehicles, trailers, boats, or outboard motors, replacing current registration processes. Leasing companies must pay a $250 annual fee to operate, with options to pay sales tax either at registration or per rental agreement. Registered fleet owners must also provide a $100,000 surety bond to cover potential liabilities related to their operations. The changes apply directly to vehicle owners, dealers, leasing businesses, and fleet operators.
