Bill > HB05237

This bill, titled "An Act Implementing Recommendations By The Department Of Motor Vehicles," makes several changes to existing laws, primarily concerning the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Key provisions include clarifying that "motor vehicle records" no longer exclude records related to vessels, allowing the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to disclose personal information from these records to individuals who can prove current ownership of a vessel for the purpose of identifying the last registered owner, and establishing that the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection can provide this vessel ownership information at no cost. The bill also updates the definition of "commissioner" to include any DMV employee acting on behalf of the Commissioner, streamlines the process for obtaining a replacement certificate of title for a vehicle by requiring the commissioner to check vehicle identification numbers against records of stolen vehicles, and officially proclaims the second Monday in July as "Accessible Parking Awareness Day" to promote responsible use of accessible parking spaces.
