The bill amends the section heading of R.S. 32:705 to change "Delivery" to "Acceptance and delivery" of the certificate of title. It also enacts a new subsection, R.S. 32:705(E), which outlines specific errors in the assignment of title that will not prevent the Department of Public Safety and Corrections from accepting the title assignment. These errors include misspellings of names, incorrect signatures, and errors in addresses or dates of sale, as long as they do not affect fees or penalties.

Additionally, the bill provides that the office of motor vehicles and licensed public tag agents will be held harmless for relying on information from a properly endorsed agreement to sell a vehicle. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections is tasked with promulgating necessary rules for the implementation of this new subsection. This legislation aims to streamline the process of title transfers and reduce complications arising from minor errors in documentation.
