An Act To Amend the Law Regarding Resale by a Motor Vehicle Dealer To Permit the Dealer To Use a Copy of a Certificate of Title
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §664-A, sub-§1, as amended by PL 2009, c. 598, §29, is further amended to read:
 
1. Vehicle sold by dealer.   A vehicle that is sold by a dealer must be accompanied by a properly assigned and valid certificate of title or certificate of salvage or a copy of a valid certificate of title at the time of its sale. A dealer may retain and process certificates of title and certificates of salvage at the dealer’s primary facility if in the case when the dealer displays a vehicle at an annex facility the dealer maintains a copy of the certificate of title or certificate of salvage at the annex facility.
 
SUMMARY
This bill allows a dealer selling a motor vehicle to use a copy of the valid certificate of title instead of the original valid certificate of title.
