AN ACT relating to motor vehicle titles.

This law changes how Kentucky calculates whether a damaged vehicle must have its title surrendered as destroyed. Cosmetic repair costs, such as parts and labor for surface-level fixes, will no longer count toward that threshold. Vehicles that fall below the threshold and avoid title surrender will now be issued a salvage title instead. Who it may affect: vehicle owners with damaged cars, auto repair shops, insurers, and county clerks who process vehicle titles.
