(a) As a prerequisite to the issuance of a certificate of ownership, a salvage motor vehicle which has been damaged to such an extent that it has been rendered economically impractical to repair, including a stolen motor vehicle that is recovered in such condition, and that is subsequently reconstructed, rebuilt or repaired must undergo an inspection at a State inspection facility.

(b) As a prerequisite to the issuance of a certificate of ownership, a salvage motor vehicle which is a recovered stolen vehicle with a missing, altered or damaged vehicle identification number or plate must undergo an inspection at a State inspection facility.

(c) As a prerequisite to the issuance of a certificate of ownership, the owner of a salvage motor vehicle which is a recovered stolen vehicle that does not have a missing, altered or damaged vehicle identification number or plate and which has not been damaged to such an extent that it has been rendered economically impractical to repair shall supply the Commission with a copy of the report from the law enforcement agency which recovered the stolen motor vehicle to confirm that the vehicle has been inspected to ascertain ownership, together with the other documents required by 13:21-22.14.

(d) Upon receipt of the completed application, together with the required inspection fee, if any, the Commission shall mail a notice of appointment to the owner indicating the date, time and place of the inspection.

(e) The following fees, payable to the Commission, shall be charged to inspect the following salvage motor vehicles:

1. For a stolen motor vehicle (including a stolen motorcycle) that is subsequently recovered with a missing, altered or damaged vehicle identification number or plate, there is no fee.

2. For a motor vehicle (other than a motorcycle) that was previously determined to be economically impractical to repair, including a stolen motor vehicle that is recovered in such condition, and that is subsequently reconstructed, rebuilt or repaired, the fee is $ 200.00.

3. For a motorcycle that was previously determined to be economically impractical to repair, including a stolen motorcycle that is recovered in such condition, and that is subsequently reconstructed, rebuilt or repaired, the fee is $ 100.00.

(f) An inspection appointment shall be rescheduled at no additional cost provided that the owner notifies the Commission at least five days prior to his or her scheduled inspection date that he or she is unable to have his or her salvage motor vehicle inspected on such date. In the event that the owner fails to provide the Commission with at least five days notice of his or her inability to have his or her salvage motor vehicle inspected on the scheduled inspection date, then the owner must submit an additional inspection fee equal to the amount of the original inspection fee to the Commission before a new inspection appointment will be issued to the owner to have his or her salvage motor vehicle inspected.
