Section 7 establishes the effective. date.   JUSTIFICATION: As more industries utilize digital methods of operation, it is critical that New York State keep up with public and commercial demand and streamline services that only it can provide. Currently, when DMV deliv- ers original documents to New Yorkers,.such as vehicle titles, it must provide a physical document. This legislation streamlines the process and acknowledges that secure items can be safely transferred solely through digital means. By allowing for the digital delivery of a vehicle title, certain aspects of business in New York State can be completed nearly instantaneously, such as replacing a lost title, transferring a lien, or transferring the title to a new vehicle owner. This will save_ the state money by increasing efficiencies, and provide for a more convenient process for residents and businesses.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New legislation.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Increased revenues to the State in an amount to be determined due to increased efficiencies in processing.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
