Senator Holbert presented House Bill 16-1293 to the committee. This bill, as amended by the House Transportation and Energy Committee, requires automobile insurers to submit to the Department of Revenue (DOR) a statement notifying DOR when a motor vehicle:

has been damaged and needs repairs exceeding the vehicle's value; or
has been designated by the insurer as a total loss.

Upon receipt of this statement from the insurer, the DOR must:

notify the owner and all lienholders and provide each with a copy of the statement;
issue a new title branded with "insurance loss," or a salvage title if the statement includes facts that qualify the vehicle as a salvage vehicle; and
note on the title any unreleased liens and deliver the title to the senior lienholder or the owner with a demand that the original title be surrendered.
