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) Salvage business licenses expire on June 30 of the designated expiration year. The renewal period begins April 1 in the year of their expiration.

   1. (A) New applicants for salvage business licensure will be issued a two- (2-) year license expiring June 30 of the appropriate year. The cost for licensure shall be one hundred thirty dollars ($130) for each type of business activity indicated on the application, except that only one (1) one hundred thirtydollar ($130) fee shall be collected if the applicant applies for licensure as a used parts dealer and a salvage dealer or dismantler. If the licensure period is for less than a two- (2-) year period, the licensure fee shall be prorated for each type of business activity on a quarterly basis based on the application receipt date as follows:

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

($130);

1. 2. October 1 to December 31—one hundred thirteen dollars

and seventy-five cents ($113.75);

1. 3. January 1 to March 31—ninety-seven dollars and fifty

cents ($97.50);

1. 4. April 1 to June 30—eighty-one dollars and twenty-five

cents ($81.25).

1. (B) Late renewal applicants who submit their application for a salvage business license 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.

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.
