(L18, Ch. 298, sec. 4. Conditionally Eff.)

A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title:

1. If a refurbished coach or body component is remounted to a new cab and chassis power unit of a modular motor home, the department shall issue a certificate of title for the modular motor home according to the make of the refurbished coach. The manufacturer's cab and chassis vehicle identification number determines the model year. The department shall conduct a level one inspection of the vehicle and shall brand the certificate of title refurbished.

2. If a modular motor home is separated by removal of the coach or body component from the cab and chassis power unit and a cargo box, container or structure, if any, other than a motor home coach, is fitted to the cab and chassis unit, it ceases to be a modular motor home. The department shall conduct a level one inspection and shall issue a certificate of title for the vehicle according to the body style determined by the inspection. The department shall use the make and model year of the cab and chassis for the purpose of issuing a certificate of title and shall brand the certificate of title refurbished.

If a vehicle covered by this section is offered for sale, a person who sells the vehicle shall keep full and complete disclosure statements and present those statements to any person or entity that requests them at the time of a sale or purchase.
