Bill > SB111

This bill expands the authority of the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) and state/local agencies to seize registration plates from vehicles that are illegally registered or used in the state, including those belonging to residents who haven't properly registered their vehicles after 60 days or who have outstanding traffic violations, or if a vehicle's registration has been suspended for a significant period. It also allows the MVA Administrator to enter into agreements with other jurisdictions for the reciprocal enforcement of violations captured by automated traffic enforcement systems, such as speed cameras, and can use these agreements to refuse vehicle registration. Additionally, the bill clarifies exemptions from state vehicle registration requirements, including for trailers and semitrailers with valid out-of-state registration, and provides a temporary exemption from excise tax for certain vehicles previously registered out-of-state but owned by state residents. Finally, it introduces a warning system for unregistered vehicles owned by state residents, with escalating civil fines and potential vehicle immobilization if compliance isn't achieved within specified timeframes, and prohibits title service agents from selling or facilitating the sale of out-of-state registration to state residents.
