Permits licensed motor vehicle dealers to facilitate issuance of titles and registrations for used motor vehicles purchased by private sale.
This bill allows private buyers of used vehicles in New Jersey to use licensed motor vehicle dealers to handle title and registration paperwork instead of filing directly with the state. It directly affects private individuals purchasing used cars from other private sellers (not dealers) and authorizes licensed dealers to process these transactions. The key mechanism lets buyers submit a bill of sale to a dealer, who then files the required documents with the state motor vehicle agency, paying the $20 fee instead of the buyer. This simplifies the process for private sellers who may not navigate the system themselves, while keeping the state fee structure unchanged.
