Bill Summary
Repealing the requirement that a notarized bill of sale be submitted to the Motor Vehicle Administration when transferring ownership of a certain used vehicle.
AI Summary
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 vehicles where the excise tax was based on the total purchase price and that price was significantly below the vehicle's retail value, a notarized bill of sale was needed to verify the transaction price to the MVA. This change simplifies the process for vehicle transfers by eliminating the need for this specific notarized document.
