Local Legislator’s Bill to Change Title Requirements Heads to Governor

Rep. Jack Jordan

A bill sponsored by State Rep. Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) is headed to the Governor. The Indiana House of Representatives supported the bill that changes the type of titles issued for specialty-built vehicles.

Jordan says some cars are built to resemble the body of a different car that was produced at least 25 years ago. People can build replica cars at home with a kit or they purchase a vehicle from a low-income manufacturer.

Under current law, specialty-built cars received a reconstructed vehicles title, which is equated to a salvaged title in other states. The bill would create a new title specifically for replica cars.

A summer study committee would also work with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to examine similar legislation in 23 other states to determine salutations for other titling issues.

Governor Eric Holcomb will now review the bill for consideration. Senate Bill 340 can be viewed at iga.in.gov.
