MOTOR VEHICLES: Provides relative to motor vehicle titles. (8/1/24)
This bill amends the rules for correcting errors on motor vehicle titles in the state. It specifically allows title clerks to use the word "or" when fixing mistakes where the original text is illegible, rather than being limited to using the word "is." The change applies to vehicle owners and officials processing title corrections to provide more flexibility in handling unclear documents.
