An Act To Amend The Motor Vehicle Laws

This bill modifies Maine's motor vehicle laws to establish an electronic temporary registration plate program and clarify vehicle disposal procedures. It requires lenders to pay a $1.00 fee for each electronic lien transaction and mandates that owners or lienholders claim impounded vehicles within 30 days of notice. The Secretary of State may create a digital registration system, with a $2.00 temporary plate fee (including $1.00 for the program), and must deposit all related fees into the Motor Vehicle Services Fund. These changes directly affect vehicle lenders, owners of seized vehicles, and dealers participating in the new electronic registration system.
