A 497 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the electronic transmission of certain documents

This bill amends New York's Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow electronic transmission of vehicle title documents, replacing the requirement to "mail" them. It directly affects vehicle owners, lienholders (like banks), and the Department of Motor Vehicles by enabling digital delivery of original titles, duplicate titles, and lien notices. The key change updates definitions and procedures across multiple sections to permit electronic transmission alongside traditional mail, streamlining document delivery without altering title ownership rules.
