What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that a person applying for a certificate of title for a motor

vehicle of a model year 2011 or later that is less than 20 years old must include a

disclosure of the vehicle's mileage as shown by the vehicle's odometer.

Under current law, the owner of a vehicle subject to registration must apply to

the Department of Transportation for a certificate of title for the vehicle when the

person first acquires or registers the vehicle. If the vehicle model year is less than

10 years old, the application for a certificate of title must include a disclosure of the

vehicle's mileage.
