26    the essential part itself acquired by the licensee denotes

 

 

SB3325 Engrossed- 17 -LRB099 17121 AXK 41479 b

4    model of either the identification number of the vehicle
5    from which the essential part is alleged to have come or
6    the identification number which is affixed to the essential
7    part itself. To determine whether an essential part is 6
8    years of age or newer within this paragraph, the model year
9    of the essential part shall be subtracted from the calendar
10    year in which the essential part is acquired or disposed of
11    by the licensee. If the remainder is 6 or less, the record
12    of the acquisition or disposition of that essential part
13    shall be kept as required by this Section.
14        (F) The requirements of paragraph (2) of subsection (a)
15    of this Section shall not apply to the disposition of an
16    essential part other than a cowl which has been damaged or

18    a usable condition and which is being sold or transferred
19    to a scrap processor or for delivery to a scrap processor.
