Bill > AB296

This bill revises various provisions related to motor vehicles, focusing on two main areas: installment loans for vehicle registration and digital license plates. First, the bill requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to contract with an installment loan provider that can offer loans to vehicle owners to pay registration fees and taxes through the department's electronic branch office. These loans must meet specific criteria: they cannot charge interest, fees cannot exceed 15% of the total amount financed, loans must be at least $250, and the loans cannot be rolled over or refinanced. Second, the bill authorizes the DMV Director to permit digital license plates, which must display the vehicle's license plate code and registration status, be clearly visible, and be displayed on an approved digital device. The digital plates can display alternative messages, replicate special or personalized license plates, and will be subject to specific departmental regulations regarding privacy, data sharing, and display requirements. The bill also extends a pilot program for gathering data on annual vehicle miles traveled until December 31, 2030, and makes several related administrative adjustments to accommodate these new provisions. Additionally, the bill allows installment loan providers more flexibility in conducting their business, including the ability to operate in offices with other businesses.
