Bill > HB4527

This bill mandates that the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) establish an automatic vehicle registration renewal program, which will allow vehicle owners to enroll in a system where their registration is automatically renewed and billed annually using a pre-saved debit or credit card. This new system, termed "automatic registration renewal," requires the DMV to notify owners two weeks before charging their saved payment method via text, email, or mail, and owners can change their billing information or date up to five days before the charge. The bill also requires county sheriff's offices to report monthly to the DMV on personal property tax payments for motor vehicles, and the DMV must update registrant accounts within ten business days of receiving this information, while also providing a system for owners to upload documentation or present proof in person if their tax payments are not reflected in their account.
