HB2977

Missouri HB2977 prohibits residents from registering vehicles in other states to avoid Missouri titling and registration.

Missouri HB2977 makes it unlawful for residents with a Missouri address to register a vehicle in another state to bypass Missouri's titling and registration requirements. The bill imposes a rebuttable presumption that a vehicle owned by a Missouri resident is subject to Missouri's titling and registration laws if the resident has a Missouri driver's license, operates or stores the vehicle in Missouri, and has insured the vehicle. The Department of Revenue can impose a $500 penalty for non-compliance.
