Requirements governing electronic motor vehicle documents modified, electronic titling and lien release required, electronic transmission and signatures related to motor vehicles provided, and technical changes made.
This bill updates Minnesota's laws to allow for the electronic handling of motor vehicle titles, registrations, and lien releases, aiming to modernize how dealers and the state process vehicle documents. Starting October 1, 2027, the Department of Public Safety must accept electronic transfers and will send title documents directly to lenders rather than mailing them to owners. The legislation also requires the state to set security standards for private companies that provide the software for these electronic services and changes how duplicate titles are issued when a vehicle has a loan on it.
