186A.010 Automated motor vehicle and trailer registration and titling --

Transportation Cabinet to develop system.

(1) An automated motor vehicle and trailer registration and titling system shall be

developed and implemented as expeditiously as practicable in all counties of the

Commonwealth. The automated motor vehicle and trailer registration system shall

be designed to enable Kentucky's county clerks to produce motor vehicle and trailer

certificates of registration in their offices, and certificates of title in Frankfort, by

automated means utilizing telecommunication terminals and associated devices

supplied by the Commonwealth, to inhibit registration and transfer of stolen motor

vehicles or trailers, to improve the capability of detecting and recovering such

vehicles, to ensure development of a common vehicle information database to

improve efficiency in auditing motor vehicle usage tax, license fee collections, and

in collecting personal property tax to provide information to the traffic record

system, and to provide improved security interest protection to potential creditors

throughout Kentucky while simultaneously reducing the number of forms that must

be processed and stored each year in Kentucky.

(2) The Transportation Cabinet is hereby directed to, as expeditiously as practicable,

develop an automated motor vehicle and trailer registration and titling system,

having, as a minimum, the capabilities or functions described in this chapter, and to

acquire and assure the installation of such equipment or services as are necessary to

enable the system as described in this chapter to be operated in all counties of the

Commonwealth.

(3) All departments of state government affected by the system are hereby directed to

cooperate with the Transportation Cabinet for purposes of assuring orderly

implementation of this chapter.
