A 4099 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the issuance, records, and delivery of certificates of title; requires the establishment of an electronic lien and title program

This bill (A 4099) requires New York's Department of Motor Vehicles to create an electronic system for recording vehicle liens and title information, replacing paper-based processes. It mandates that banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions electronically submit lien details and lien satisfactions to the department, with most non-financial entities exempt. Vehicle owners and lienholders will no longer receive paper title certificates unless specifically requested; titles will remain electronic until all liens are satisfied. The law directly affects vehicle owners with loans, financial institutions holding vehicle liens, and the DMV's title processing system.
