Maine might update its vehicle lien and title system by moving more of it online.

Republican Rep. Mike Perkins of Oakland introduced a bill that’s working its way through the Maine Legislature.

Perkins said the bill allows the state to create an electronic process for maintaining and exchanging title and lien information.

Secretary of State Shenna Bellows says officials have worked to reduce a titles backlog that numbered more than 70,000 a few years ago.

Bellows says an electronic title system would help prevent the backlog from recurring.
