This bill establishes a formal licensing system for businesses that electronically file vehicle registration and title applications with the Department of Motor Vehicles. To operate in this capacity, companies must pay a $250 fee, maintain specific surety bonds totaling $55,000, and adhere to rules that cap their service charges for electronic filings at $25 per application. The legislation also mandates that these businesses provide customers with a disclosure form explaining their fees and lack of affiliation with the state, while failing to comply with filing requirements results in a $25 penalty per application.
