HOUSE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, In 2000, legislation was passed by the Illinois
General Assembly to authorize the implementation of a statewide
electronic lien and title system; and
WHEREAS, At least 24 states currently utilize electronic
lien and title systems; and
WHEREAS, Electronic titles have the same legal validity as
paper titles, but exist only in electronic form within a secure
database; and
WHEREAS, Implementation of an electronic lien and title
program in Illinois would change the lien and title process for
lenders, dealerships, the Secretary of State's office, and
other state departments relying upon such records, as well as
Illinois residents; and
WHEREAS, The use of an electronic lien and title system
would streamline the handling of records associated with titles
and increase efficiencies to comport with technological
advances, which would assist in electronic record retention;
and
WHEREAS, An electronic lien and title system would reduce

the cost involved in the handling, storage, and mailing of
paper titles; and
WHEREAS, Improved accuracy, security, and timeliness would
result from the electronic exchange of data and title work; and
WHEREAS, Expedited lien releases will benefit Illinois
title holders in transacting the business of purchasing and
selling vehicles; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE
HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that the
House of Representatives urges the Illinois Secretary of State
to implement a statewide electronic lien and title system.
