TITLE 49—TRANSPORTATION
§ 33111
In subsection (a)(2)(B), the words ‘‘stolen passenger
motor vehicle and passenger motor vehicle parts infor-
mation’’ are substituted for ‘‘stolen vehicle and vehicle
parts information’’ for consistency with the termi-
nology used in the revised chapter.
In subsection (a)(4), the text of 15:2026c(f) (1st sen-
tence) is omitted as surplus. The words ‘‘the effective
date of the System’’ are substituted for ‘‘shall be effec-
tive as provided’’ because of the restatement.
In subsection (b)(1), the words ‘‘intending to trans-
fer’’ are substituted for ‘‘seeking to transfer’’ for clar-
ity. The words ‘‘passenger motor vehicle or passenger
motor vehicle part’’ are substituted for ‘‘a vehicle or
vehicle parts’’ for consistency with the terminology
used in the revised chapter. The words ‘‘whether the ve-
hicle or part’’ are substituted for ‘‘whether a part’’ for
consistency with source provisions restated in the re-
vised section.
In subsection (b)(2), the words ‘‘shall inform the in-
surance carrier, person, individual, or enterprise
whether’’ are substituted for ‘‘provide such insurance
carrier or person with a determination as to whether’’
for clarity and consistency in the revised subsection.
The words ‘‘may require appropriate verification’’ are
substituted for ‘‘may require such verification as the
Attorney General deems appropriate’’ to eliminate un-
necessary words.
In subsection (c)(1), the words ‘‘and appoint’’ are
omitted as unnecessary because of the restatement.
