Vehicle title transfers deadline to file modification to 20 days, rental motor vehicle license plates eligibility requirements modifications, and technical corrections
Minnesota bill SF 3987 extends the deadline for filing vehicle title transfers from 10 to 20 calendar days after a sale, affecting new vehicle owners and dealers who must submit transfer paperwork. It modifies rental motor vehicle license plate eligibility by including one-ton pickup trucks in the definition of "rental motor vehicle" and adjusts requirements for auto rental companies. The bill also makes technical corrections to several vehicle registration statutes, including updating deadlines for dealers to file transfer applications and clarifying when registration taxes must be paid. These changes aim to streamline the title transfer process and update eligibility criteria for rental vehicle licensing.
