allowing the director of the division of motor vehicles to adopt administrative rules regarding the use of electronic signatures and relative to signature requirements where ownership of a vehicle is transferred to an insurer after payment of damages.

The bill header and page headers were updated from 'AS AMENDED BY THE SENATE' to 'VERSION ADOPTED BY BOTH BODIES,' indicating the bill reached final passage status.

A date or page marker '09/08' was added, likely a pagination or versioning artifact.

The bill's scope was expanded to cover signature requirements when vehicle ownership is transferred to an insurer after payment of damages, not just general DMV electronic signature rules.

A new provision (RSA 261:22, II-b) states that supporting documents used to transfer a vehicle's ownership to an insurer after damage payments do not require a notarized signature and may be signed electronically or printed on hard copy. Examples include limited power of attorney, duplicate title, and odometer statement forms.

A new provision (RSA 261:22, II-c) requires applicants to indemnify and hold harmless the DMV department from any liability caused by an error or misrepresentation in their submission under the new transfer provisions.

The effective date section was renumbered from Section 4 to Section 5 to accommodate the newly inserted Section 4.
