KRS 186A.055: System to withhold title until vehicle identification number compared.

The Department of Vehicle Regulation, in cooperation with the Department of Kentucky

State Police, shall ensure that the automated vehicle registration and titling system

provided for by this chapter will be designed, equipped, and operated so that, under

normal conditions, the system will withhold production of a certificate of title until the

vehicle identification number of a vehicle for which a title is sought, and when present,

its license number has been automatically compared against the Law Informat ion

Network Kentucky (LINK) and, unless it refuses to permit such an arrangement, the

National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computerized listing of vehicles reported

stolen, and a "no stolen report" or its equivalent is received.
