Committee advances bill to clarify 'transporter' includes salvage pool operators
Summary
Senate Bill 336, a request from salvage-industry firm Copart, clarifies that "transporter" includes salvage pool operators; the committee approved the measure 12–0.
Vice Chair Fricks presented Senate Bill 336 and said the language clarifies that a "transporter" includes salvage pool operators. The bill was described as a request bill from Copart to remove uncertainty in business-to-business vehicle pickup and transfer arrangements.
"Some of their, when they're doing business to business transaction, so they're going to pick up differently on some occasions... we're just trying to seek some clarity that transporter would include salvage pool operators as well," the sponsor said, describing the bill as narrowly targeted to commercial practice.
The committee held no extended debate, placed the bill on a do-pass recommendation and the roll call recorded 12 ayes and 0 nays. The committee advanced the bill to the next stage.
