Rebuilder Online Form – Three members of the IAR
participated in testing the DOT’s new online
Re-
builder Theft Inspection online request system
which took place in the DOT headquarters in
Ankeny. Comments from participants included that
it worked fine and the online form asks for the same
information as the paper form. We suggested the
rule be updated to include the receipt for the sal-
vage title vehicle on the form and then calculate the
fair market value by adding up receipts of parts for
the unlicensed rebuilder that are subject to road use
tax. The idea was well received by the DOT.
Paul Steier, Iowa DOT, noted that 12,000 to 14,000
rebuilder theft inspections were requested last year
with 5,500 of those subject to road use tax therefore
requested by unlicensed rebuilders/hobbyist.
This new online form will go live later this year. The
DOT will be demonstrating how to use it to the IAR
Board at the face-to-face meeting in Ankeny in late
October/early November.
In the new system, the rebuilder will request and
pay for inspections at the time an inspection request
is initiated through the system. A peace officer/
inspector will schedule and conduct the inspection
and receipt verification then complete the online re-
quest in the system. The rebuilder can then go to
the court house to title the vehicle to prior salvage
from the salvage title.
NMVTIS/Affidavit Rule Writing – Mike S., Sue and
Jim Piazza met with the DOT concerning the admin-
istrative rule writing for the new law and to see what
the status of the rule writing is currently with the
DOT. Jim’s role in this process is important to mak-
ing sure the rules get written according to the con-
cepts which we presented to the legislators and that
were agreed upon by other interested parties such
as the Attorney General Consumer Protection Divi-
sion, the metal recyclers and the used care dealers.
A paper affidavit form was requested as a safety net
