A bill for an act relating to the release of liens on snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water vessels.
This bill modifies the process for recording the release of liens on snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water vessels. Currently, owners must submit proof of a lien release to the county recorder in the specific county where the vehicle's title was originally issued. This legislation allows individuals to present proof of a released lien to the county recorder of any county. Upon receiving this proof, the county recorder is required to note the release on the vehicle's certificate of title and update the statewide computer system, making the information accessible across all counties.
