FORTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE-REGULAR SESSION. 37
application, such penalty shall be collected upon each application
filed by any transferee. Said penalties shall be remitted to the
Highway Department on Monday of each week as chauffeur's
fees are now required to be reported and remitted. The Tax Collector
and his bondsmen shall be liable for the penalties herein
provided in the event such penalties are not collected. Bills of
sale and transfer applications shall be made out in triplicate.
One copy shall be sent to the State Highway Department by the
25th of the succeeding month, as may be prescribed by said Department.
The same shall be on the form prescribed by said
Department, except that the following information shall be
shown as follows: 'State and County in which the same is
executed.' 'That the ownership of the vehicle is transferred.'
'That said vehicle has been duly registered in the State for the
current year.' 'Names and street addresses of the vendors and
vendees.' 'Consideration.' 'State license number.' 'Engine
number.' 'Name.' 'Model and year made.' The same shall be
sworn to by the vendor.
The Tax Collector and the Highway Department shall refer
to the appropriate prosecuting attorneys, any false statements
found in any bill of sale or any false certificates executed by any
Notary Public or other officer.
Any person who shall transfer a motor vehicle and execute
the same wholly, or partly in blank, leaving out any information
that is required to be given, and can be given, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined in any sum not exceeding
Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars.
Whoever violates any provision of this Section for which
no specific penalty is fixed shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and shall be fined in any sum not exceeding Two Hundred
($200.00) Dollars."
SEC. 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
SEC. 4. That fact that many automobiles have been stolen
and the failure to file application for transfer timely, results in
much confusion, and the inability, in many instances, to trace
the thieves and determine ownership; the ambiguity of the
present law; and the excessiveness of the filing fee under the
present law, create an emergency and an imperative public
necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read
on three several days in each House be suspended, and said
Rule is hereby suspended, and it is so enacted.
Approved March 24, 1931.
Effective February 22, 1931.
[NOTE: S. B. No. 40 passed the Senate by a vote of 29 yeas,
0 nays: passed the House by a vote of 103 yeas, 12 nays.]
