This bill would require effective January 1, 2014, all lien releases to be electronically submitted to the Department of Revenue within 10 days of the release

To amend Section 32-8-64.2, Code of Alabama 1975, to provide for the release of certain liens after three years on vehicles which are 12 or more model years old; and to require on a certain date for all lien releases to be electronically submitted to the Department of Revenue within 10 days of the release.
