News in 2015

This legislative season, NMVTIS has been a very hot topic with more and more states actively using the NMVTIS system for verification, titling and daily record processing. Likewise, law enforcement is finding benefit in the data and using it more than ever. States like Georgia, Mississippi, North and South Carolina have already passed legislation that specifies more frequent reporting to NMVTIS than the 30 days required by federal law. In April state legislation has passed in Iowa requiring reporting to NMVTIS within 48hrs and other bills in Tennessee, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana and New Hampshire in process, with language related to NMVTIS, some including reporting requirements in a little as 24 hours.

During the 2015 legislative session, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) included language in CS/HB 7055 that increases fines for curbstoning from $100 to $500 per violation. The bill also allows the governing authority that authorizes the tow of a curbstoned vehicle to keep the fines collected. The bill has been enrolled, and after the governor’s signature will become effective October 1, 2015.

Does the state know something about a car title that you don’t? For businesses (and individuals) purchasing a car with a “clean” title, it can be a costly and unpleasant surprise to discover that a title transfer or new title issuance is going to result in a branded or salvage title. With the increase in online sales and auctions, unscrupulous sellers intentionally avoiding the disclosing of title brands or a salvage history in order to sell the vehicles for a higher price has become a very real problem.
