Vehicle Laws - Transfer of Used Vehicles - Repeal of Notarized Bill of Sale Requirement

HB 251 repeals the requirement for a notarized bill of sale when transferring ownership of used vehicles in Maryland. It specifically removes Section 13-809(d)(2) of the Maryland Vehicle Law, which previously mandated this notarization for private sales where the purchase price was $500 or more below the national used car value. This change directly affects private sellers (non-dealers) selling used vehicles, simplifying the transfer process by eliminating the notarization step. The bill does not alter tax rates, fair market value calculations, or other existing requirements for vehicle transfers. The repeal takes effect October 1, 2026.
