KY Rev Stat § 186A.060 (1996 through Reg Sess) What's This?
186A.060 Department of Vehicle Regulation to develop forms -- Reduction of
paperwork required.
The Department of Vehicle Regulation is directed to develop, in cooperation with county
clerks, auto dealers, and the Department of Revenue, Department of Insurance, and
Department of Kentucky State Police, the forms required to record all information
pertinent to the initial registration, or titling and taxation, or transfer of registration or title
of a vehicle. The Department of Vehicle Regulation shall make every effort to minimize
and reduce the amount of paperwork required to apply for, or transfer, a vehicle title.
When possible, the title document itself shall be used as the primary form used to effect a
transfer of vehicle ownership. When no in-state title exists, then forms shall be designed
by the department that require only the appropriate and essential information to effect the
application for title. The department shall constantly review the information needs of
government agencies and other organizations with the goal of reducing, or eliminating,
unnecessary documentation. Information being sought for application for title relevant to,
but not limited to, vehicle identification, owner, buyer, usage tax, county clerk or
inspector shall be set forth by the cabinet in such a way as to promote flexibility in
reaching this goal, except that an applicant for a motor vehicle title shall not be required
to provide his or her social security number as part of the application process. The use of
an electronic medium shall be employed so that forms can be printed by the automated
system. Existing statutory language in this chapter and KRS Chapter 186 pertaining to
application, signature, forms, or application transfer record may be construed to be
electronic in nature at the discretion of the cabinet as provided for by administrative
regulation. Any person who knowingly enters, or attests to the entry of, false or erroneous
information in pursuit of a certificate of title shall be guilty of forgery in the second
degree.
