HB 5111 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Vehicles: off-road; electronic transfer of title or interest in off-road vehicle or watercraft; provide for. Amends sec. 81105 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.81105).

HB 5111 allows for electronic transfer of ownership titles for off-road vehicles (ORVs) and watercraft between private owners, replacing the current paper-based process. It requires the Michigan Department of State to establish an electronic system for these transfers, excluding dealers, and sets rules for its operation and data protection. This change directly affects private ORV and watercraft owners who sell or transfer these vehicles, streamlining title transfers without needing physical certificates. The bill updates existing title transfer rules under Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to modernize the process.
