Bill Summary

Relative to beneficiary designation on motor vehicle registrations. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill allows the owner of a motor vehicle who is a natural person to designate a beneficiary on the vehicle's registration certificate. The owner retains full ownership rights during their lifetime, and the beneficiary has no rights until the owner's death. After the owner's death, the beneficiary can apply within 60 days to the registrar to have the vehicle's title and registration transferred to their name, provided they submit the required documentation and fees. The beneficiary's rights are subordinate to any recorded lienholders on the vehicle. The registrar may adopt regulations to implement this provision.
