Electronic Title and Registration Program

The effect of the rules will be to require vehicles to be registered and titled in an individual’s legal name, to establish the Electronic Title and Registration (ERT) program, set forth ERT application requirements, require ERT provider annual fees, responsibility for technical costs, document retention requirements, and establish penalties for failure to remit state taxes and fees as required. The reason for adopting the proposed rules is to implement the ERT program as required by state law, to ensure that ERT providers comply with necessary technical requirements of DOR’s 605Drive system, ensure the timely remittance of state taxes and fees by ERT providers, and ensure compliance with federal document retention laws.
