The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, specifically section 81105, to clarify the requirements for the transfer of ownership of off-road vehicles (ORVs). It stipulates that after an ORV has been titled, the owner must provide a certificate of title to the new owner, indicating the assignment of the ORV in the transferee's name. Additionally, it prohibits individuals from purchasing or acquiring an ORV without obtaining a certificate of title in their name, in accordance with the relevant laws.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision allowing the Department of State to establish an electronic system for processing the notification and transfer of ORV ownership interests between parties, provided that none of the parties involved is a dealer. This electronic system aims to streamline the transfer process while ensuring the protection of proprietary information. The department is authorized to enter into contracts for the implementation and operation of this system, which must include safeguards for sensitive information.
