Bill > SB469

This bill, known as the "DMV e-Signature Act," allows the director of the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to create rules permitting the use of electronic signatures on various DMV records, documents, applications, and forms, and mandates that these electronic signatures be accepted. An electronic signature is a digital mark that has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature, as defined in RSA 294-E:2. Additionally, the bill modifies the process for transferring vehicle ownership to an insurer after the insurer has paid for damages, specifying that the supporting documents for this transfer, such as limited power of attorney, duplicate title, and odometer statements, no longer require a notarized signature and can be signed electronically and then printed on paper. This change aims to streamline the process for vehicle ownership transfers in cases of total loss where an insurer takes possession of the vehicle.
