2A Daily News – Tuesday, October 4, 2011 Community people&events New law automates vehicle registration to benefit consumers Under AB 1215 (Blumenfield), signed Monday by Gov- ernor Edmund G. Brown Jr., all used vehicles offered for sale by a dealer in California will be checked against the Nation- al Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) to disclose past vehicle damage such as flooding or severe col- lisions. New vehicle dealers will also be electronically trans- mitting information to the DMV, ensuring faster delivery of registration documents and license plates to customers. The new law takes effect on July 1, 2012. "The new law will benefit consumers because registration will be processed more quickly and new license plates will be delivered faster than before," said DMV Director George Valverde. "Making electronic registration mandatory will also further improve customer service to our business part- ners and provide additional information about vehicle histo- ry to customers." The new law prohibits a dealer from displaying or offer- ing for sale, a used vehicle unless the dealer first obtains the NMVTIS vehicle history report. And, when the report indi- cates the vehicle is or has been declared a junk or salvage automobile, the law will require the dealer to post the dis- closure and provide the purchaser a copy of the report. NMVTIS is an electronic system that provides con- sumers with valuable information about a vehicle's condition and history. Prior to purchasing a vehicle, NMVTIS allows consumers to find information on the vehicle's title, most recent odometer reading, brand history, and, in some cases, historical theft data. The new law also requires all new vehicle dealers in Cal- ifornia to participate in the department's Business Partner Automation Program (BPA). In the past, new car dealers were not required to use the BPA and would bundle many of their new car reports of sale and physically deliver them to the DMV for processing. The new law also clarifies that consumer must affix new license plates when received from DMV and no later than 90 days from the date of vehicle sale. Don't Stand In Line, Go Online! Doing business with the DMV has never been easier. The DMV offers an array of services to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through its Website including online appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions.
