HF 2316: Providing an alternative to filing a bond as a condition of registering and titling certain motor vehicles

What it does

Under current law, if a county treasurer or the department of transportation (DOT) is not satisfied as to the ownership of a vehicle or that there are no undisclosed security interests in it, or if a junking certificate has been issued for the vehicle but a certificate of title will not be reissued and the vehicle is years old or older, the county treasurer or DOT may register the vehicle. However, as a condition of registration, and before issuing a certificate of title and registration receipt, the county treasurer or DOT must require the applicant to file a bond with the DOT.
