   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

   Section 1. Subdivision (b) of section 2108 of the vehicle and  traffic

 title by a transferee, the naming of a lienholder and the assignment  or
 release  of  the  security  interest of a lienholder.   THE COMMISSIONER
 SHALL DESIGN THE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE TO PROVIDE FOR AN  INSTANT  RECORD
 OF  SUCH  AN  ASSIGNMENT  AND  WARRANTY  OF  TITLE TO BE RETAINED BY THE
 TRANSFEROR. THIS RECORD SHALL CONTAIN THE SIGNATURES OF  THE  TRANSFEROR

 follows:
   (a) If an owner transfers his interest in a vehicle, other than by the
 creation  of  a security interest, he shall, at the time of the delivery
 of the vehicle, execute an assignment  and  warranty  of  title  to  the
 transferee  in  the space provided therefor on the certificate or as the
 commissioner prescribes, and cause the certificate and assignment to  be
 mailed  or  delivered  to the transferee. The assignment and warranty of
 title required by this section shall include a statement signed  by  the
 transferor  stating  either,  (i)  any facts or information known to him
 that could reasonably affect the validity of the title of  the  vehicle;
 or,  (ii)  that  no  such  facts  or information are known to him.   THE
