Summary

Vehicle Damage Disclosure Act of 1993 - Amends the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act to prohibit the licensing in a State of a vehicle whose ownership has been transferred unless the State discloses on the vehicle's title information indicating: (1) whether it was previously issued a title containing a word or symbol signifying that it was "salvage," "junk," "reconstructed," or "rebuilt," or that it has been damaged by flood; and (2) if it was issued such a title, which State first issued it. Requires the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe rules governing the manner in which a State shall disclose such information.
