Vehicles: off-road; electronic transfer of title or interest in off-road vehicle or watercraft; provide for. Amends secs. 80304 & 81105 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.80304 & 324.81105).
SB 1010 allows private individuals to transfer ownership of off-road vehicles and watercraft electronically without visiting a state office, provided neither party is a licensed dealer. This change applies to Michigan residents buying or selling these items directly with one another, streamlining the process by letting them use a digital system managed by the Department of State. The bill authorizes the department to create and run this online platform while requiring all users to follow specific rules and protect sensitive data. Existing laws requiring physical title transfers for these items remain in effect for transactions involving dealers or those not using the new electronic option.
