What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
