AR HB1161

Allows the Department of Finance and Administration to send motor vehicle registration renewal notices and requirements by email instead of regular mail if the vehicle owner consents and provides an email address.

Clarifies that motor vehicle registration may be renewed by electronic means, including online registration process or telephone registration process provided by the department.

Requires renewal notices to be sent at least 30 days before license expiration either by regular mail to the owner's most recent address on file or by email to an address provided with the owner's consent.

Applies the email notification option to annual registration renewal notices, application forms, and the annual notification of registration requirements (regarding taxes, insurance, and penalties).

Removes obsolete language referring to facsimile machine transmission as a renewal method and updates references from "mailed" to "send" to reflect multiple delivery methods.
