JUSTIFICATION:

As more industries utilize digital methods of operation, it is critical
that New York State keep up with public and commercial demand and
streamline services that only it can provide. Currently, when DMV deliv-
ers original documents to New Yorkers, such as vehicle titles, it must
provide a physical document. This legislation streamlines the process
and acknowledges that secure items can be safely transferred solely
through digital means.

By allowing for the digital delivery of a vehicle title, certain aspects
of business in New York State can be completed nearly instantaneously,
such as replacing a lost title, transferring a lien, or transferring the
title to a new vehicle owner. This will save the state money by increas-
ing efficiencies, and provide for a more convenient process for resi-
dents and businesses.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New legislation.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:


Increased revenues to the State in an amount to be determined due to
increased efficiency in processing.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
