                         A BILL FOR AN ACT
       Concerning a change of the definition of "salvage vehicle"
            to include motor vehicles currently excluded.
       
       
                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that
       applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at
       http://www.leg.state.co.us/billsummaries.)
       
            Currently, a motor vehicle rebuilt from salvage must comply with
       several requirements to qualify for a certificate of title, such as stamping
       on the vehicle's frame the phrase "REBUILT FROM SALVAGE" and
       obtaining a VIN inspection. The bill changes the definition of "salvage
       vehicle" to include vehicles that are over 6 years old and applies the
       requirements to those vehicles.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 42-6-102, repeal (17)
       (c) as follows:
            42-6-102.  Definitions. As used in this part 1, unless the context
       otherwise requires:
            (17) (c)  This subsection (17) shall not apply to a vehicle whose
       model year of manufacture is six years or older at the time of damage.
            SECTION 2.  Effective date - applicability. This act takes effect
       July 1, 2012, and applies to acts committed on or after said date.
            SECTION 3.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
       determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
       preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
