MO HB1996

Nonresidents operating vehicles in Missouri must maintain financial responsibility that conforms to their state of residence requirements, not Missouri's requirements.

Nonresidents are subject to the same penalties as residents for operating without financial responsibility, including class C misdemeanor charges, license suspension, point assessments, or supervision orders.

Courts must notify the director of revenue of nonresident convictions and may suspend driving privileges in Missouri and notify the nonresident's home state licensing authority.

Nonresident operators and law enforcement must report accidents involving uninsured nonresident motorists to the director within the existing accident reporting framework.

Nonresident vehicle owners are exempt from maintaining financial responsibility on inoperable or stored vehicles not in operation, consistent with resident owner provisions.
