Bill > S03251

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow for electronic transmission of vehicle certificates of title, expanding the existing methods of document delivery. Specifically, the bill modifies several sections of the law to permit documents such as original titles, lien notices, duplicate titles, and transfer certificates to be electronically transmitted in addition to traditional mail. The changes update the definition of "mail" to include electronic transmission, and replace gendered language like "he" with more neutral terms like "such commissioner". The bill allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to send documents electronically to vehicle owners and lienholders, providing a more modern and potentially faster method of delivering important vehicle-related paperwork. These modifications aim to streamline administrative processes and provide more flexible communication options for vehicle title and registration documentation. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
