House approves Chairman Craven’s bill that creates electronic vehicle registration and titling
|
STATE HOUSE – The House today approved legislation introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Robert E. Craven Sr. that would allow vehicle registration and titling to be conducted online.
The legislation (2025-H 5458Aaa) would allow for the online registration and titling of motor vehicles, similar to what currently happens with registration renewals. It would also direct the administrator of the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to promulgate the rules and regulations to implement the online registration and titling system.
“A simple fact of life is that no one likes going to the DMV. This bill will save people time and frustration by allowing individuals and businesses to register and title their vehicles online through a secure electronic process. People shouldn’t have to take time-consuming trips to the DMV for the simple task of registering their vehicle and the state should be using technology to make our residents’ lives easier and more convenient. It’s a common-sense bill that will improve the quality of life for Rhode Islanders, while also easing the traffic at the DMV for individuals and businesses that have more complicated matters to handle,” said Chairman Craven (D-Dist. 32, North Kingstown).
The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration, where Sen. Robert Britto (D-Dist. 18, East Providence, Pawtucket) has introduced the legislation (2025-S 0931).
