PURPOSE: This amendment updates information on inoperable/ stored vehicles to include how to remove voluntary suspensions and payment of fines owed pursuant to sections 303.025 and 303.041, RSMo.

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the procedures for individuals to notify the director of revenue that a vehicle is inoperable or has been stored and is exempt from the financial responsibility laws pursuant to sections 303.025 and 303.409, RSMo, and how to remove voluntary suspension and payment of any fines owed pursuant to sections 303.025 and 303.041, RSMo.

(1) Proof of inoperability or storage shall be submitted to the director of revenue in the form of a certified statement. Such certified statement shall describe the reason for the inoperability and/or the period and terms of storage of the motor vehicle. The director shall have the authority to require additional documentation in order to determine the authenticity of such certified statement. Such documentation shall include, but not be limited to, repair bills, a statement from a mechanic, or copies of any rental, lease, or storage agreements.

(2) To remove the voluntary suspension, the director shall require proof of financial responsibility and a certified statement that the vehicle is operable or no longer being stored. The Department of Revenue will not charge a reinstatement fee for removing the voluntary suspension.

(3) At the court's discretion, any fines owed to the state pursuant to section 303.025, RSMo, may be eligible for payment in installments based on the individual's ability to pay and within a period of time the court determines to be reasonable. Application for such payment plan must be made with the court.
