SB 6427 - DIGEST

 

     Declares that, in 1996, the legislature acknowledged the danger of the public not knowing that vehicles they own may have been rebuilt from salvage.  The 1996 legislature responded by mandating that vehicles rebuilt from salvage be branded with words indicating that the vehicle had been totaled.  While the branding program has been effective, the law only impacts vehicles that have been declared totaled inside Washington state.  It is the intent of this act to extend the law to vehicles that have been declared totaled outside of the state.
