Summary

Existing law prohibits a person from driving, moving, or leaving standing upon a highway or offstreet public parking facility any motor vehicle or other specified vehicle, unless it is registered and the appropriate fees have been paid. Existing law makes it a felony for a person who, with the intent to prejudice, damage, or defraud, alters, forges, counterfeits, or falsifies a registration card or who utters, publishes, passes, or attempts to pass, as true and genuine, a false, altered, forged, or counterfeited registration card knowing it to be false, altered, forged, or counterfeited. Existing law, until January 1, 2021, requests the University of California to conduct a study on motor vehicle registration fraud and failure to register a motor vehicle, and requires the study to include specified information, including quantification of the magnitude of the problem, the costs to the state and local governments in lost revenues, and recommended strategies for increasing compliance with registration requirements. Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to enter into an agreement with the University of California to share its vehicle registration information for purposes of conducting the study and requires the Department of the California Highway Patrol to provide specified information to the University of California researchers who are conducting the study. Existing law requests the University of California to post a report of the study on its internet website no later than January 1, 2018. This bill would extend the request of the University of California to conduct a study on motor vehicle registration fraud and failure to register a motor vehicle to January 1, 2025. The bill would also extend the requirement for the Department of Motor Vehicles to enter into an agreement with the University of California to share its vehicle registration information for purposes of conducting the study and the requirement for the Department of the California Highway Patrol to provide specified information to the University of California researchers who are conducting the study to January 1, 2025. The bill would also extend the date of the request for the University of California to post a report of the study on its internet website to no later than January 1, 2022.
