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 introduces a definition for "secure digital vehicle title" and outlines the requirements for implementing these electronic systems.

Several amendments to existing laws are included, such as allowing written or electronic disclosures for odometer readings and power of attorney, as well as the option for electronic signatures on applications and certificates of title. The bill specifies that the electronic systems must meet security requirements and allows for a no-cost option for the state if a qualified vendor is contracted for implementation. The effective date for certain sections of the bill is contingent upon the successful implementation of the electronic systems.
