SF 2038: Relating to applications for certificates of title and annual registration fees for commercial vehicles

Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Under current law, the owner of a commercial vehicle subject to apportioned registration under Code chapter 326 must make application to the department of transportation or the appropriate county treasurer for a certificate of title within days of the purchase or transfer of the vehicle. The fee for a certificate of title is $20 and must be accompanied by the fee for new registration. An owner of more than commercial vehicles subject to the apportioned registration provisions of Code chapter 326 who is issued such a certificate of title is not subject to annual registration fees until the commercial vehicle is driven or moved upon the highways.
