§291E-49 Transferring title to, or ownership interest in, vehicle prohibited; exceptions. (a) A registered owner shall not sell or transfer title to, or ownership interest in, a motor vehicle during the time period the motor vehicle's registration has been ordered revoked and number plates surrendered or during the time the motor vehicle bears the special series number plates pursuant to section 249-9.4, unless the registered owner applies to the administrative director of the courts, or the administrative director's appointee pursuant to section 291E-1, for consent to transfer title to the motor vehicle.
