Dealers would file vehicle titles and registrations through a digital system

The Department of Transportation would create a digital system for dealers to submit vehicle title and registration documents. The system would handle dealer submissions for initial vehicle registration and titling, and vehicle ownership transfers. The system would use qualified electronic registration vendors that the department has already approved and contracted with. The vendor would digitize the forms with the department, and the forms could be submitted without notarization. Vendors would pay costs to develop, implement, train for, and manage improvements to the department's electronic registration system. The act would take effect six months after enactment.

The system would let dealers check department vehicle records in real time for purchases and ownership transfers. This applies to dealers handling vehicle purchases and ownership transfers. The department's records would be the main source for accurate information. The department would set how dealers verify those records. After verification, a dealer would not need the paper title in hand before selling the vehicle. The act would take effect six months after enactment.

The department could let people submit certain required vehicle documents electronically instead of submitting originals. This applies to documents required under the vehicle title and registration chapter. The department would decide which electronic formats are feasible. When a signature is required, an authenticated electronic signature would meet that requirement. Once accepted, an electronic document would count as an original and could be used in administrative or court proceedings. The act would take effect six months after enactment.
