PURPOSE: This rule provides for issuing biennial salvage business licenses on a staggered basis to equalize the Department of Revenue’s workload and for the corresponding fees that are required.

      1. 1. July 1 to September 30—one hundred

thirty dollars ($130)

1. 2. October 1 to December 31—one hun-

dred thirteen dollars and seventy-five cents ($113.75)

2. (C) Late renewal applicants who submit their application for a salvage business license on or after August 28, 2004, have the option of receiving a one (1)-year or two (2)- year license. These applicants must obtain a certification from authorized law enforcement as required by section 301.219, RSMo.
3. (D) Renewal applicants for salvage business licensure who renew during the renewal cycle beginning April 1, 2005, and who have an even-numbered license number, will be issued a one (1)-year license expiring June 30, 2006, at a cost of sixty-five dollars ($65) for each business activity conducted. During the renewal cycle beginning April 1, 2006, these renewal applicants will be issued a two (2)-year license expiring June 30, 2008.
4. (E) Renewal applicants for salvage business licensure who renew during the renewal cycle beginning April 1, 2005, and who have an odd-numbered license number, will be issued a two (2)-year license expiring June 30, 2007, at a cost of one hundred thirty dollars ($130) for each business activity conducted.

1. (2) Each application for a salvage business license must be accompanied by a five-dollar ($5) fee for a criminal record check for each owner, partner, or corporate officer listed on the application. The deposited fees are forwarded to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The patrol shall provide the director with the results of the applicant’s criminal record check to assist the director in determining the applicant’s qualifications as provided in section 301.221, RSMo.
2. (3) In the event that owners, partners, or principal officers (if a corporation) are residents of a state other than Missouri or another country, they must obtain a current criminal record check from their state highway patrol or corresponding law enforcement agency and submit that record check with new and renewal applications. The five-dollar ($5) fee referenced in section (2) of this rule is inapplicable to this circumstance.
