HF 354: Relating to the waiting period for a replacement of a motor vehicle certificate of title
Died when the session ended · The 2024 session adjourned on April 19, 2024, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
Under current law, if an original certificate of title to a motor vehicle is lost or destroyed, the owner or lienholder is required to apply for a replacement copy. The application must be made to the department of transportation (DOT) or county treasurer who issued the original certificate of title. The application must be signed by the owner or lienholder and accompanied by a $20 fee. The DOT or county treasurer must wait five days before issuing a replacement copy using the applicant’s most recent bona fide address. However, the five-day waiting period does not apply to an applicant who is a lienholder or to an applicant who has surrendered the original certificate of title to the DOT or county treasurer. This bill strikes the five-day waiting period.
