What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person may not purchase or bid on a motor vehicle from a motor vehicle salvage pool unless the person holds a valid buyer identification (BID) card issued by the Department of Transportation. A motor vehicle salvage pool sells or distributes damaged motor vehicles at wholesale, generally by auction. Currently, BID cards are available only to motor vehicle dealers, wholesalers, and salvage dealers licensed in this state or another state and to their employees. Under this bill, DOT may also issue a BID card to a school district or an employee of a school district.
