The bill aims to modernize the administration of documents related to the transfer and ownership of motor vehicles by allowing electronic processes. It authorizes the Department of Finance and Administration to establish electronic lien, titling, and registration systems, as well as a secure digital vehicle title system. Key provisions include permitting electronic disclosures of odometer readings, electronic signatures for registration and title applications, and the ability to transmit liens electronically to the Office of Motor Vehicle. The bill also specifies that the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration may implement a paperless, secure digital vehicle title system.

Several amendments to existing laws are included, such as allowing for written or electronic disclosures of odometer readings and signatures on applications and certificates of title. The bill also introduces a definition for "secure digital vehicle title" and outlines the requirements for the electronic systems to ensure security and compliance with federal regulations. Additionally, it establishes a contingent effective date for certain sections, which will only take effect upon the successful implementation of the electronic systems.
