(b)For a late-model or high-value vehicle with a certificate of title that bears a "salvage" brand or stamp, the commissioner must not issue a certificate of title that bears a "prior salvage" brand unless the application for title is accompanied by a certification of inspection in the form and content specified by the department.
§
Subd. 1a. Duties of salvage vehicle purchaser.
No salvage vehicle purchaser shall possess or retain a salvage vehicle which does not have a certificate of title that bears a "salvage" or "prior salvage" brand or stamp. The salvage vehicle purchaser must display the certificate of title upon the request of any appropriate public authority.
