New Business:
NMVTIS and Affidavit Bill – Sue gave an update on
the status of the NMVTIS/Affidavit bill that Jim Piazza,
Jr., IAR lobbyist, has been working on this session.
The bill has made it through the subcommittee with a
small change in language by the DOT (but no change
in content) which then passed the House by a vote of
97-0. The language change involved the length of
time in which an affidavit vehicle would be required to
be reported; it went from 48 hours to 2 business days.
Also, the limitation on age of vehicles is set at 12
years which was discussed. The bill now goes to the
Senate for a vote. Jim will get an advance notice
when it will be debated on the Senate floor before
coming a vote. If it gets to the governor for his signa-
ture, it would most likely go into effect between Janu-
ary 1, 2016 and July 1, 2016.
Rebuilder Tax Form – Sue has not received any re-
cent updates on this legislative issue. The DOT still
wants to use the MSRP sticker price as the basis of a
vehicle for tax purposes then use a formula to figure
the basis from there for rebuilders although nothing
has been decided on this yet.
