Overview: Legislation (S.B. 647) has been introduced in Wisconsin to eliminate the requirement of buyer identification cards to purchase vehicles from the salvage vehicle pool. Currently, only dealers may purchase scrappage vehicles at auction. This bill would eliminate that requirement and would allow individuals the opportunity to purchases salvage vehicles. In exchange, salvage vehicle dealers would be required to keep records of each vehicle sold from the pool.
In addition, the bill changes the definitions of "junk" and "salvage" vehicles to increase the number of vehicles classified as salvage.
