NMVTIS/Affidavit Rule Writing – Sue reported there is still no written
rules draft available at this time although the law went into effect on
January 1, 2016. Jim Piazza, IAR Lobbyist, has asked the board to put
together a list of points we would want added to the law once there is
an opportunity and that the window to do this would close rapidly at
this point. Although Sue felt there is no point in amending a law that
has no written rules yet. She said the one item to add may be the lien
check which we are doing voluntarily already. The main purpose of
updating the rule would be to put the NMVTIS reporting back to 30
days for non-affidavit cars or repeal the law until the intent can be bet-
ter expressed such as an Iowa NMVTIS system for reporting. The law
was not created to target enforcement on licensed auto recyclers but
to give DOT tools
to identify and
ticket illegal oper-
ators.
Pat Rooff briefed
the Board on
some DOT action.
The DOT has
been advising tow
yards to get a re-
cycler’s license
due to the code
for Rule 321H.3
which states that
a recycler’s li-
cense is required
if there are 6 or
more vehicles
subject to regis-
tration onsite. It
was questioned
whether or not
these tow yards
require recyclers
licenses in lieu of
enforcement ac-
tion. Perhaps they
do not even meet
