What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation issues a certificate of title to a new owner of a vehicle after ownership of the vehicle is transferred. The new owner pays a $62 fee for a certificate of title after a transfer and a $7.50 supplemental title fee, except that a surviving spouse or domestic partner need not pay the supplemental title fee if the vehicle is being transferred upon the death of his or her spouse or domestic partner.
Under this bill, the fee for a certificate of title after a transfer is waived when a vehicle is transferred upon a person's death to his or her spouse or domestic partner.
