[H 99]
Approved March 7, 2012
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 46.2-619 of the Code of Virginia is
amended and reenacted as follows:
§46.2-619. New indicia of title; procedure as to leased
vehicles.
When the Department receives a certificate of title properly
assigned and acknowledged, accompanied by an application for registration, it
shall register the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer described in the
application and shall issue to the person entitled to it by reason of the
transfer a new registration card, license plate, or plates and certificate of
title in the manner and form and for the fees provided in this chapter for
original registration. For leased vehicles, such application shall include,
when available, (i) if the lessee is an individual, the name and residence
street address of the lessee and the name of the locality in which the
leased vehicle will be principally garaged or parked and (ii) if the lessee
is a business, the name of the business, its street address, and the name of
the locality in which the leased vehicle will be principally garaged or parked.
The Department shall also make this information available to the commissioner
of the revenue or other assessing officer of the locality in which the leased
vehicle is to be principally garaged or parked. Nothing in this section shall
permit the registration of all-terrain vehicles or off-road motorcycles titled
pursuant to this title.
