Bill > H3766

This bill addresses a problem faced by owners of antique motor vehicles (cars that are 25 years or older) regarding incorrectly documented odometer readings on their vehicle titles. The legislation allows an owner who discovers a mileage error on their vehicle's certificate of title to appeal to the registrar for a correction. To do this, the owner can mail or deliver their current certificate of title to the registrar along with supporting documentation like an affidavit that proves the mileage was originally recorded incorrectly. If the registrar determines that the mileage was indeed documented incorrectly during a title transfer, they are required to issue a new certificate of title with the correct mileage and mail it to the owner's address. The bill provides a clear process for owners of older vehicles to rectify potential administrative errors in their vehicle documentation, ensuring that the official record accurately reflects the vehicle's true mileage. Any disputes with the registrar's decision would be subject to the existing appeal process outlined in section 30 of the relevant legal code.
