What’s in it
Under current law, vehicles must be mechanically fit and safe to be operated or moved upon the highways. Members of the department of transportation (DOT) or peace officers may reveal unsafe vehicle conditions that require the DOT and county treasurers to refuse to register and issue or transfer a certificate of title for a vehicle. It is a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $135 for any person to drive or move or for the owner to cause or knowingly permit to be driven or moved on any highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles which is in such unsafe condition as to endanger any person.

It is also a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $70 to drive a motor vehicle equipped with a windshield, sidewing, or side or rear window which does not permit clear vision. A peace officer is authorized to stop a vehicle to inspect the condition of the vehicle. This bill specifies that vehicles impacted by cosmetic hail damage are not mechanically unfit or unsafe to be operated or moved upon the highways nor are they considered to have an unsafe condition as to endanger any person.
