(b)
(1) A motor vehicle, the ownership of which is transferred, may not be licensed for use in this state unless the transferee, in submitting an application for the title on which the license will be issued, includes with the application the transferor's title and, if that title contains the appropriate space, the transferor's disclosure of the mileage at the time of transfer, and the signature and the date of the disclosure.
