fees through the system to the county clerk of the county in which either the
purchaser of the vehicle resides or the motor vehicle dealer selling the vehicle is
located.
(4)When the electronic title application and registration system is fully implemented, a
county clerk who receives an application transmitted through the system shall, by 3
p.m. the next business day, either:
(a)Accept the application and forward it to the cabinet; or
(b)Reject the application and return it to the approved entity.
(5)If a county clerk is required to manually enter information from an application into
AVIS before forwarding it to the cabinet, the title application and registration
system shall not be considered fully implemented. The cabinet shall make the
determination of whether the title application and registration system shall be
considered fully implemented.
(6)An entity that wishes to become an approved entity for the purposes of this chapter
shall submit an application to the cabinet, along with a one hundred fifty dollar
($150) application fee. If approved, the entity shall pay an annual registration fee to
the cabinet. All fees collected under this subsection shall be deposited into the road
fund.
(7)The cabinet shall enter into contracts with qualified third-party providers to
integrate with AVIS and other systems to provide software and programs to
approved entities to facilitate electronic vehicle registration, titling, and filing of
title lien statements. A third party that contracts with the cabinet under this section
may act on behalf of the cabinet and county clerks in receiving, processing, and
transmitting to the county clerk title and registration applications, salvage title
applications, title lien statements, and related documents and fees.
(8)Any agreement with the cabinet and a third-party provider under subsection
(7)of
this section shall authorize an online transaction fee to be charged by the third-party

190 who uses the electronic title application and registration system to file the
documentation necessary to obtain a certificate of title, salvage title, or registration
for the purchaser of a vehicle shall collect from the purchaser any fees charged for
the transaction by the third-party provider. The dealer shall remit fees collected
under this subsection to the county clerk through the electronic title application and
registration system. Except for salvage title applications, any transaction fee
charged under this subsection shall be listed separately on the buyer's order and
identified as "online system filing fee."
(9)The cabinet shall promulgate administrative regulations in accordance with KRS
Chapter 13A to establish qualifications for approved entities and procedures for the
electronic title application and registration system.
