(a)On creation of a written certificate of title, the department shall promptly send the certificate to the secured party of record or, if none, to the owner of record, at the address indicated for that person in the department's files. On creation of an electronic certificate of title, the department shall promptly send a record evidencing the certificate to the owner of record and, if there is one, to the secured party of record, at the address indicated for that person in the department's files. The department may send the record to the person's mailing address or, if indicated in its files, an electronic mail address.

(b)If the department creates a written certificate of title, any electronic certificate of title for the vessel is canceled and replaced by the written certificate. The department shall maintain in its files the date and time of cancellation.

(c)Before the department creates an electronic certificate of title, any written certificate for the vessel shall be surrendered to the department. If the department creates an electronic certificate, the department shall destroy or otherwise cancel the written certificate for the vessel that has been surrendered to the department and maintain in its files the date and time of destruction or other cancellation. If a written certificate being canceled is not destroyed, the department shall indicate on the face of the certificate that it has been canceled. [L 2018, c 46, pt of §1]
