A. The director may establish a pilot program to measure and determine the
effectiveness of the following in improving customer service, operations, capital cost
reductions and security of information transmitted to the department:

1. The electronic transmission and recording of vehicle title and registration
information between the department and an authorized third party or an authorized third
party electronic service provider for the purpose of titling and registering vehicles
entering this state from another jurisdiction in a cost-effective manner in lieu of the
submission and maintenance of paper documents.

2. The electronic transmission and recording of driver license applications between
the department and another state through an authorized third party or authorized third
party electronic service provider for the purpose of issuing driver licenses in a
cost-effective manner in lieu of the submission and maintenance of paper documents as
provided in this chapter.

3. The electronic transmission and recording of vehicle accident data between the
department, other states and law enforcement agencies within this state or within another
state through an authorized third party or authorized third party electronic service
provider.

B. In the process of establishing the system, the director shall:

1. Research methods the department and authorized third parties or authorized third
party electronic service providers may use to exchange and maintain information relating
to driver licenses and vehicle title and registration without submitting or receiving a
paper document.

2. Develop methods an authorized third party or an authorized third party
electronic service provider may use to electronically submit updated information relating
to the title and registration record or the driver license record.

C. The director may limit the number of other states and authorized third party
electronic service providers participating in the system. After the system has been
operating for twelve months, if the director determines the system is successful, the
director may expand the system.

license information under the system established pursuant to this section.
