Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, no person may remove, alter, obliterate, or intentionally make it impossible to read a vehicle or vehicle part identification number. A person who violates this prohibition may be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than six years, or both.
This bill creates an exception to this prohibition for persons who remove and replace a decal that contains a vehicle or vehicle part identification number when repairing a vehicle or vehicle part if the removal and replacement is reasonably necessary for the repair.
