Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

SB 1462 - This act provides that vehicle identification number and odometer inspections for titling purposes may be performed by an employee of a licensed new or used motor vehicle dealer if the vehicle is sold to a person who lives out of state and intends to register the vehicle out of state, or if the motor vehicle has less than 30,000 miles for the three-year period following the model year of manufacture. The act also exempts these vehicles from safety and emissions inspections prior to sale if the vehicle is sold by a private seller or by a licensed motor vehicle dealer that has sold at least 200 motor vehicles in the previous calendar year. The act further modifies the requirement to perform a safety inspection prior to sale to specify that a pre-sale inspection shall be performed no more than 60 days prior to sale, rather than "immediately prior to sale". This act contains provisions similar to HB 3041 (2026), HB 2655 (2026), is similar to SB 645 (2025), HB 1018 (2025), and HCS/HB 2317 (2024). TAYLOR MIDDLETON
