In a July Policy Bulletin released by the Georgia DOR, Motor Vehicle Division Director Brent Bennet announced passage of House Bill 207 during the 2021 legislative session. That bill requires secondary metals recyclers, used motor vehicle parts dealers and scrap metal processors (Salvage Dealers) to report certain title cancellation information and National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) information to the Department of Revenue. The law was effective July 1, 2021, and according to the bulletin, starting September 1, 2021, Salvage Dealers will be required to cancel all titles through Auto Data Direct through an established account with the company.
