Bill > SB125

This bill, effective October 1, 2026, removes the requirement for a notarized bill of sale when transferring ownership of certain used vehicles to the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). Previously, for used vehicles where the purchase price was significantly lower than the national publication value, a notarized bill of sale was needed to verify the total purchase price for calculating the excise tax, which is a tax imposed on vehicle ownership transfers. The bill amends Transportation Article 13-809 by deleting the provision that mandated this notarized document, simplifying the process for vehicle title transfers.
