A bill for an act relating to applications for a motor vehicle salvage certificate of title by an insurer without surrendering the certificate of title or manufacturer’s or importer’s statement of origin, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

Removed the Governor's signature block, date, and transmission letter addressed to the Secretary of State.

Added the official signatures of the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate to certify the bill's final passage.

Reformatted the text to remove page numbers, headers, and footer graphics typical of a PDF scan, converting it to a clean text layout.

The effective date of the new law was changed from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.

New subsections were added to clarify that supporting documents can be signed under penalty of perjury instead of requiring notarization, and to specify that the application must include proof of payment of the settlement amount.

New language was added to protect the Department of Transportation and county treasurers from liability if they rely on representations made in supporting documents, provided they took reasonable steps to verify them.

The text was cleaned up to remove draft markers, page numbers, and explanatory notes, and minor grammatical errors (such as 'shall must') were present in the final version.
