kentucky house bill 29 - proof of auto insurance

" House Bill 29, passed during the 2004 General Assembly, as a positive step in the continuing battle to identify uninsured motorists. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Ron Crimm, goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2006. It will require all insurance companies writing automobile insurance in Kentucky to send a list of vehicle identification numbers (VIN) and policyholders to the Transportation Cabinet’s Department of Vehicle Regulation by the 15th of each month. This will be kept in the Kentucky Vehicle Information System’s (KVIS) database and will be accessed by county clerks. Unless the VIN is found in the database, the county clerk cannot process an application for, or issue, a title, registration, replacement plate, duplicate registration, transfer of registration or temporary tag.
