Title

Motor vehicle license tags, renewal when the registration contains multiple parties, only one driver's license or other proof required, Sec. 32-7A-17 am'd.

Summary

HB672 would require only one registrant’s identification numbers to be recorded for renewals of multi-owner motor vehicle registrations, instead of collecting every registrant’s numbers.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the bill changes who’s ID information is stored when renewing registrations that list more than one owner. Only one set of IDs (such as a driver’s license/ID, department-approved federal ID, national license, or FEIN for entities) would be required to be included in state and county databases. The ID numbers would not appear on registration receipts, and the department could assign an internal identifying number to registrants to document compliance with the law.

Who It Affects

• Individuals or entities listed as registrants on a multi-owner motor vehicle registration, who would have only one set of ID numbers recorded in state/county databases.
• License plate issuing officials and the state department, who would collect, manage, and use the identifying numbers for record-keeping and compliance, and ensure these numbers are not printed on receipts.

Key Provisions

• Amends Section 32-7A-17 to require only one registrant's ID number to be stored in state/county databases during renewal of a multi-registrant vehicle registration.
• Allows use of either a driver’s license/ID number, a department-approved federal identifying number, a national driver’s license, or a federal employer identification number for entities, but only for one registrant in multi-owner renewals.
• Requires that these numbers not be included on registration receipts, though they may be stored in the registration records.
• Gives the department authority to assign an identifying number to registrants to document compliance, and states the act takes effect immediately after passage.
