2005 Minnesota Statutes

     168A.15 Reconstructed, scrapped, dismantled, or 
  destroyed vehicles. 

    Subdivision 1. Repealed by amendment, 1988 c 496 s 18 

    Subd. 2.    Requirements to obtain certificate for 
 reconstructed vehicle.  If a vehicle is altered so as to 
 become a reconstructed vehicle, the owner shall apply for a 
 certificate of title to the reconstructed vehicle in the manner 
 provided in section 168A.04, and any existing certificate of 
 title to the vehicle shall be surrendered for cancellation.  

    Subd. 3.    Scrapped, dismantled, or destroyed vehicle.  
 An owner who scraps, dismantles, or destroys a vehicle, or a 
 person who purchases a vehicle as scrap or to be dismantled or 
 destroyed, shall immediately have the certificate of title 
 mailed or delivered to the department for cancellation.  A 
 certificate of title for the vehicle shall not again be issued. 

    Subd. 4.    Motorcycle with new engine.  (a) If the 
 commissioner does not require that a new or amended title be 
 issued and stamped as reconstructed or otherwise under this 
 chapter for an automobile being operated with an engine that is 
 not its original engine, then the commissioner shall not require 
 that title issued for a motorcycle being operated with an engine 
 that is not its original engine be stamped or otherwise labeled 
 as reconstructed or otherwise.  

    (b) This subdivision does not prevent the commissioner from 
 requiring that a new application be completed according to 
 section 168A.04 and be filed with the commissioner.  Upon 
 receipt of the completed application and the old title, and 
 subject to section 168A.05, subdivision 1, the commissioner 
 shall issue another certificate of title, which must list the 
 engine number, for the motorcycle with the nonoriginal engine.
