1. Salvage vehicle inspectors
Under current law, a repaired salvage vehicle may not be registered or be issued a new certificate of title until an inspector authorized by DOT examines the vehicle to verify the title, source and ownership of parts, and compliance with safety equipment requirements. Current rules promulgated by DOT require that a person be a Wisconsin law enforcement officer or a full-time employee of DOT's division of state patrol and complete specified training to be qualified to conduct salvage inspections. This bill prohibits DOT from requiring that a salvage inspector be employed by the department or by a law enforcement agency.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 342.07 (5) of the statutes is created to read:
342.07 (5) If the department establishes requirements for certification to conduct inspections under this section, the department may not require that an inspector be employed by the department or by a law enforcement agency.
(End)
