The state of Montana enacted a new bill concerning the method of attaining a title for motor vehicles. The new law, which is titled HB 380, requires a surety bond to be acquired in order to attain the certificate of title for a motor vehicle should it be sold devoid of the manufacturer’s certificate of origin. The surety bond indemnifies individuals who endure damages by the issuance of a title to the vehicle’s buyer. HB 380 law was introduced on January 28th, 2009.
