AB1215 Signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown
Beginning July 1, 2012 all California auto dealers must run vehicle history reports
through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information Service (NMVTIS).
Compliance is not achieved with Carfax, AutoCheck or any other non-NMVTIS reports.
NMVTIS reports are available at NIADA.CheckThatVin.com for $3.50 each.
The purpose of the report is to identify vehicles with branded titles, such as salvage, lemon-law, flood, etc.
If a dealer chooses to sell a vehicle with a branded title,
he must affix a red warning sticker to the vehicle so a customer is aware of the branded title status.
On July 1, 2012 dealers may charge an additional $10 on the doc fee to offset the cost of the report.
