of fact.

|
|
| 1 | | the licensee to submit the original paper

|
| 25 | | (e) No later than July 1, 2022 2021, the Secretary of State |

| 11 | | the certificate to any other
person that delivers to the |
| 12 | | Secretary of State an authorization from the owner
to receive |
| 13 | | the certificate. If another lienholder holds a properly |
| 14 | | perfected
security interest in the vehicle as reflected in the |
| 15 | | records of the Secretary
of State, the certificate shall be |
| 16 | | delivered to that lienholder instead of the
owner.
|
| 17 | | (f) The Secretary may contract with a private contractor |
| 18 | | to carry out the Secretary's duties under this Section. |
