An Act relative to modernizing and expanding availability of motor vehicle titling and registration services

HD 2854 modernizes Massachusetts vehicle titling and registration by enabling electronic cross-state services. It authorizes the state to create reciprocal electronic programs with other states, allowing residents who buy vehicles in another state to register them electronically in Massachusetts. The bill also removes transaction volume limits for dealers in the electronic program and updates security interest processes, requiring lienholders to release interests within 10 days and enabling electronic title transfers for dealers who pay electronically. These changes directly affect Massachusetts residents, vehicle dealers, and lenders involved in vehicle transactions. The bill takes effect upon passage.
