Read the full explanation

This bill authorizes proof of a release of a lien on a snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle, or vessel to be presented to the county recorder of any county, and requires a county recorder to note the release on the face of the certificate of title and enter the release on the statewide computer system accessible by every county recorder. A similar provision exists under current law for county treasurers noting the release of liens on motor vehicles.
