The bill establishes a new chapter, CHAPTER 3.4, titled "Electronic Registration and Titling," within Title 31 of the General Laws related to motor vehicles. It requires the Division of Motor Vehicles to implement electronic systems for lien, titling, and registration by July 1, 2026, enabling business entities to conduct transactions electronically. Applications for registration certificates and titles must be submitted electronically, with exceptions for businesses with fewer than 25 transactions annually. The bill also details the electronic transmission process for liens and lien satisfactions, stating that a certificate of title need not be issued until all liens are satisfied. Additionally, it creates a secure digital vehicle title system recognized as an official title, fully transactable within Rhode Island and other jurisdictions.

Moreover, the bill amends Section 31-23.2-6 to allow mileage disclosure to be recorded on written or electronic forms and updates the language to permit the electronic or printed provision of the certificate of title. It includes provisions for electronic signatures and removes the notarization requirement for certain forms. While the bill introduces new legal language to support the electronic registration and titling framework, it does not specify any deletions from current law. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, providing time for the Division of Motor Vehicles to prepare for this transition.
