An Act relative to the authorization for electronic signatures with motor vehicle title and registration transactions

This bill allows Massachusetts drivers and dealers to use electronic signatures for motor vehicle title and registration documents, such as title transfers and registration forms. It specifically permits electronic signatures on physical odometer documents (like title certificates) when scanned or imaged, requiring identity verification and secure record retention. The state registrar must accept these signatures both digitally and via printed copies, while ensuring documents remain linked to their original electronic records. The law does not create new electronic titles (which follow federal rules) but streamlines existing paper-based processes. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
