HB 5112 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Vehicles: off-road; electronic transfer of title or interest in off-road vehicle or watercraft; provide for. Amends sec. 80304 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.80304).

HB 5112 allows private individuals (not dealers) to electronically transfer ownership of watercraft and off-road vehicles through a state-run system, replacing paper title processes. It directly affects people buying or selling these vehicles privately, such as in personal sales. The bill authorizes Michigan’s Secretary of State to create and manage this electronic system, requiring private users to follow department-set procedures. This changes how non-dealer ownership transfers are handled for these vehicles.
