Bill Summary

This bill prohibits the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission from charging a title fee to individuals who have paid off their car loans for the re-issuance of a title without a lienholder noted on it.

AI Summary

This bill, aimed at providing financial relief to New Jersey residents, prohibits the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) from charging a fee when re-issuing a motor vehicle title after a car loan has been fully paid off. Currently, when someone finances a vehicle, a lienholder (the lender) is noted on the vehicle's certificate of ownership, commonly known as the title. Once the loan is completely paid, the lienholder is removed from the title, and a new title is issued. This legislation ensures that individuals will no longer have to pay a fee to the NJMVC for this administrative process of updating their vehicle's title to reflect the payoff of their loan.
