20 the applicant must then make necessary repairs and present the
21 vehicle to a law enforcement department for confirmation that
22 any defect has been corrected pursuant to s. 316.6105, before a
23 certificate of title may be issued for such vehicle. Upon
24 issuance of a certificate of title for such vehicle, the
25 department shall stamp, in a conspicuous place on the title,
26 words stating the nature of the proposed use of the vehicle or
27 stating that the vehicle has been rebuilt and may have
28 previously been declared a total loss vehicle due to damage.
29 This subsection applies to a mobile home, travel trailer,
30 camping trailer, truck camper, or fifth-wheel recreation trailer
31 only when the mobile home or vehicle is a rebuilt vehicle as
32 defined in s. 319.14.
33 Section 2. On or before December 31, 2015, the department
34 shall provide a summary report to the Governor, the President of
35 the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
36 regarding certificates of title for rebuilt vehicles, along with
37 the department’s recommendations for any legislation necessary
38 to address and correct any needed improvements to the process
39 used to issue certificates of title for rebuilt motor vehicles.
40 The summary report must include, but is not limited to, a review
41 of the affidavits-of-compliance issued and submitted that
42 evidence corrections made to rebuilt salvage motor vehicles, and
