What’s in it
Under current law, a person must generally apply for vehicle registration and issuance of certificate of title to the county treasurer where the person resides or where the primary users of the vehicle are located. However, in 2016, the general assembly required the department of transportation (DOT) to develop and implement, by January 1, 2018, a program to allow for electronic applications, titling, registering, and funds transfers for vehicles subject to registration (program) in order to improve the efficiency and timeliness of the processes and to reduce costs for all parties involved.
Read the full explanation
At the same time, the general assembly conditionally authorized an owner of a vehicle subject to registration to apply to the county treasurer of a county contiguous to the county designated for the owner if the DOT had not yet implemented the program by January 1, 2018. In 2018, the general assembly amended the program implementation date to July 1, 2019. This bill strikes the contiguous county authorization and instead provides for the initial registration and issuance of certificate of title by any county treasurer. In addition to an owner of a vehicle subject to registration, a lessor of a vehicle pursuant to Code chapter 321F (leasing and renting of vehicles), if such vehicle is subject to registration and has a gross vehicle weight of less than 10,000 pounds, is authorized to apply for initial registration and issuance of certificate of title to any county treasurer. The bill does not make corresponding changes. _____ a certificate of title was issued are deemed to refer to the appropriate county under current law. Current law requires registration plates to display the name of the county that issues the plates, unless a specific exception is provided. The bill specifies such an exception for registration plates issued pursuant to the bill.34(11) must display the name of the county where the vehicle is registered. The bill removes the context clause applicable to defined terms in Code chapter 322A (motor vehicle franchisers). v.2d 333 (Iowa 2022)). The bill provides the same introduction to defined words and phrases to Code chapter 322A as is used for Code chapter 321.
