2and 218.21 (2) (er) of the statutes; relating to: the licensing of motor vehicle
3salvage dealers.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, all motor vehicle salvage dealers must be licensed by the
Department of Transportation (DOT). A motor vehicle salvage dealer is a person who
purchases and resells motor vehicles for wrecking, processing, scrapping, recycling,
or dismantling purposes or who conducts the business of wrecking, processing,
scrapping, recycling, or dismantling motor vehicles or selling parts of those vehicles.
Current law also requires a person who owns or operates a point source of water
pollution to obtain from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) a permit to
discharge storm water. Current law also requires a motor vehicle salvage dealer who
recovers ozone-depleting refrigerants to obtain from DNR a permit for safe recovery
of the refrigerants.
This bill requires every applicant for a new or renewed motor vehicle salvage
dealer license to provide to DOT proof that a permit, if required by DNR, has been
issued by DNR relating to storm water discharge and proof that a permit, if required
by DNR, has been issued by DNR relating to refrigerant recovery. The bill also
requires every applicant for a new or renewed motor vehicle salvage dealer license
to provide a letter, signed by the county executive or county administrator in the
county where the applicant's business is to be conducted, that states that the
applicant's business complies with county ordinances relating to storm water

discharge and refrigerant recovery, or that the county does not certify compliance,
or that the county has no related ordinances.
