Bill 34: An Act Respecting the Highway Act and the Salvage Dealers Licensing Act

This primarily affects salvage dealers operating in New Brunswick who buy and process used or wrecked vehicles. Day-to-day, these businesses deal with recording vehicle details when purchasing salvage — and now they'll need to capture both the VIN and the plate number, not just a registration number, in their records. For most small salvage yards or auto recyclers, this is a minor administrative adjustment to intake paperwork or record-keeping systems. Larger operations processing high volumes of vehicles may need to update their forms or software to reflect the new dual-identifier requirement.
