This bill exempts powers of attorney used to transfer vehicle titles to insurance companies from the requirement that they be notarized. Additionally, vehicle owners can now use electronic signatures instead of handwritten signatures on these specific powers of attorney, making the process simpler and faster when dealing with insurance companies after a vehicle is damaged or totaled.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
