        Section  2.  Sections 1117 and 1504(d)(3) and (4) of Title 75
     are amended to read:
      § 1117.  Vehicle destroyed [or junked], dismantled, salvaged or
                recycled.
        (a)  Application for certificate of [junk] salvage.--Any
     owner who transfers a vehicle [as scrap, or] to be destroyed or
     [junked,] dismantled, salvaged or recycled shall assign the
     certificate of title to the person to whom the vehicle is
     transferred. The transferee shall immediately present the
     assigned certificate of title to the department or an authorized
     agent of the department with an application for a certificate of
     [junk] salvage upon a form furnished and prescribed by the
     department. An insurer, as defined in section 1702 (relating to
     definitions), to which title to a vehicle is assigned upon
     payment to the insured of the replacement value of a [wrecked]
     vehicle, shall be regarded as a transferee under this
     subsection. If an owner retains possession of a vehicle which is
     damaged to the extent that it is valueless except for [junk]
     salvage, the owner shall apply for a certificate of [junk]
     salvage immediately. In this case, an insurer shall not pay
     vehicle [repayment] replacement value until the owner produces
     evidence to the insurer that the certificate of [junk] salvage
     has been issued.
        (b)  Issuance and effect of certificate of [junk] salvage.--
     Upon proper application for a certificate of [junk] salvage, the
     department, or such agents as the department may designate,
     shall issue to the transferee a certificate of [junk] salvage
     which shall authorize the holder to possess, transport[,] or, by
     endorsement, transfer ownership in the [junked] salvaged
     vehicle, and a certificate of title shall not again be issued
     for the vehicle except upon application containing the
     information the department requires, accompanied by any
     necessary documents or articles.
        (c)  Vehicles with defective or lost title.--Any person on
     whose property is located a vehicle which is valueless except
     for [junk] salvage and which has a faulty, lost or destroyed
     title may transfer the vehicle to a salvor or to a salvage
     program operated by a political subdivision for removal to a
     suitable place of storage or for scrapping, provided the salvor
     or salvage program complies with the requirements of section
     7309 (relating to [junking] salvaging of vehicles valueless
     except for [junk] salvage), except that the report to the
     department that the vehicle is valueless except for [junk]
     salvage shall be verified by the transferor of the vehicle
     instead of the police department. The transferee shall return
     the assigned certificate of title to the department immediately
     with an application for certificate of [junk] salvage upon a
     form furnished and prescribed by the department.
        (d)  Reconstructed [vehicle] and recovered theft vehicles.--
            (1)  If a vehicle, other than an antique or classic
        vehicle, for which a certificate of [junk] salvage has been
        issued is thereafter restored to operating condition, it
        shall be regarded as a reconstructed vehicle.
            (2)  If a certificate of salvage has been issued for a
        vehicle, other than an antique or classic vehicle, which was
        reported as stolen and then recovered and restored to
        operating condition, the vehicle shall be regarded as a
        recovered theft vehicle, but only if the retail value of any
        repairs does not exceed $1,000; otherwise, the vehicle shall
        be regarded as a reconstructed vehicle.
        (e)  Transfer to scrap metal processor.--[When a scrap metal
     processor obtains a destroyed or junked vehicle from a licensed
     salvor, it shall be the duty of the salvor to obtain a
     certificate of junk therefor. When a scrap metal processor
     purchases a destroyed or junked vehicle from a person other than
     a salvor, it shall be the duty of the scrap metal processor to
     obtain the certificate of junk.]
            (1)  When a vehicle has been flattened, crushed or
        processed to the extent that it is no longer identifiable as
        a vehicle, its certificate of title or salvage shall be
        attached to a form provided by the department and immediately
        sent to the department. The form shall include such
        information as the owner's name, date processed, vehicle
        make, model, year and VIN number. A copy of the form shall be
        retained for record in accordance with section 6308(d)
        (relating to investigation by police officers). The vehicle
        scrap material shall no longer be considered a vehicle and
        shall be removed from department records and shall not be
        retitled or reconstructed.
            (2)  Any owner who transfers a vehicle to a scrap metal
        processor shall assign the certificate of title or salvage to
        the processor. The processor shall attach the certificate to
        the proper department form, immediately send it to the
        department and retain a copy in accordance with the
        provisions of paragraph (1).
        (f)  Penalty.--Any person violating the provisions of
     subsections (a) or (e) is guilty of a summary offense and shall,

     existing identification number of a vehicle, engine,
     transmission or any other vehicle part bearing an identification

     misdemeanor of the third degree.
        (b)  Knowledge of fraudulent intent.--A person who buys,

     or an existing identification number has been falsified, with
     intent to conceal or misrepresent the identity thereof, is

        (c)  Exception.--This section does not apply to the removal
     of a metal vehicle identification number plate from a vehicle
     for which a certificate of [junk] salvage has been obtained in
     accordance with section 1117 (relating to vehicle destroyed [or
     junked], dismantled, salvaged or recycled). Neither does this
     section prohibit the removal of a metal vehicle identification
     number plate from a vehicle part that is damaged when such
     removal is necessary for proper repair or matching
     identification of a replacement vehicle part, but such removal
     is only allowed if the proper matching metal vehicle
     identification number plate is immediately and properly secured

     of the vehicle to be prepared in a manner prescribed by the
     department. A report by a salvor that a vehicle is valueless
     except for [junk] salvage shall be verified by the police
     department which authorized transfer of the vehicle to the
     salvor.
      § 7305.  Notice to owner and lienholders of abandoned vehicles.
        (a)  General rule.--Except as provided in section 7309

     an abandoned vehicle has been taken into possession pursuant to
     this chapter, shall notify by certified mail, return receipt
     requested, the last known registered owner of the vehicle and
     all lienholders of record that the vehicle is abandoned.

        costs upon reclaiming vehicle).
            (4)  State that the failure of the owner or lienholder to
        reclaim the vehicle is deemed consent by the owner to the
        destruction, sale or other disposition of the abandoned
        vehicle and of all lienholders to dissolution of their liens.
        (c)  Notice by publication.--If the identity of the last
     registered owner and of all lienholders cannot be determined
     with reasonable certainty, the contents of the notice set forth
     in subsection (b) shall be published one time in one newspaper
     of general circulation in the area where the vehicle was
     abandoned. The notice may contain multiple listings of abandoned
     vehicles. Notice by publication locally shall be the

                [junk] salvage.
        (a)  Application for certificate of [junk] salvage.--If an

     possession of abandoned vehicles) and shall apply for issuance
     of a certificate of junk as provided for in section 1117
     (relating to vehicle destroyed [or junked], dismantled, salvaged
     or recycled).
        (b)  Notice and issuance of certificate.--If the identity of
     the last registered owner cannot be determined with reasonable
     certainty and it is impossible to determine with reasonable
     certainty the identity and addresses of any lienholder, no
     notice shall be required. Under such circumstances, the
     department shall upon receipt of the report by the salvor

        (c)  Reimbursement of expenses of salvor.--Upon receipt
     within six months of evidence that a salvor has removed an
     abandoned vehicle upon the request of a police department, the
     department shall pay to the salvor from the Motor License Fund
     the sum of $15 for the expenses incurred in the removal and
     towing of the abandoned vehicle. No portion of $15 payment or
     any separate consideration shall be reimbursed or paid to any
     government agency or municipality by the salvor.
        (d)  Rights of owners and lienholders.--Issuance by the
