Salvage law cuts car theft and fraud in Iowa
Iowa officials credit a revamped salvage law with cutting vehicle theft and consumer fraud. The Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division reports thousands of part reviews and salvage theft exams in ten months, along with thousands more salvage titles and junking certificates issued. The program has generated state inspection fees and aims to prevent resale of salvaged vehicles. The Iowa IDOT Commission also approved 42.8 million dollars for 1990 transit funding, boosting state allocations for city systems while trimming regional funds.
