Concerning vehicle dealer reports of sale.
HB 2744 requires vehicle owners to report sales, gifts, trades, or donations to Washington's vehicle department within five business days, including the vehicle's VIN, seller/buyer addresses, and sale date. Dealers must file these reports on behalf of customers when vehicles are sold or traded, and the state will provide an online system for electronic reporting. Failure to report within 45 days becomes a misdemeanor, with penalties applying after that deadline. The bill updates how ownership transfers are documented and affects all vehicle sellers, dealers, and the state's vehicle records system.
