allowing the division of motor vehicles to contract with a third-party vendor to facilitate the secure transfer of title applications and information.
SB 156 allows the state motor vehicle division to contract with third-party vendors for secure digital processing of vehicle title applications and information transfers. This change directly affects vehicle owners and dealers who submit title applications, streamlining the process through secure online platforms. The key provision replaces manual or internal systems with vendor-managed digital tools to handle title data securely. The law takes effect on September 13, 2025, after being signed by the Governor on July 15, 2025. It does not alter vehicle ownership requirements or fees, only the administrative method for title transfers.
