The owner shall follow the procedure prescribed by the department if he is seeking a rebuilt brand on a title. Any regular certificate of title issued by the department for a previously salvaged vehicle must be annotated to show that the vehicle was "salvaged rebuilt" and the reason why the vehicle was "salvage rebuilt", "salvage flood rebuilt", or "salvage fire rebuilt".

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
