Allows a Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) authorized third party to receive payment of one dollar for each temporary registration plate record that is issued by an auto dealer.

History

Current law provides that the Motor Vehicle Division issues Temporary Registration Plates (TRP) to automobile dealers free of charge. The TRPs are made of a heavy weight paper with a metal security strip in the middle. TRPs are issued in ‘books’ to the authorized dealer. When selling a vehicle without a plate on an expired registration, the dealer completes the TRP and attaches it to the vehicle.

Electronic recording will allow a dealer to access MVD’s computer registration site and enter the TRP information on MVD’s registration system.
