What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
