On or before January 1, 1999, the Director of the Department of Finance and Administration shall institute a system whereby the county assessor and county collector shall notify the director that a vehicle owner has assessed a vehicle and has paid all personal property taxes that were due by the preceding October 10. Upon receipt of such notification the director shall renew the vehicle license. Such notification by the county assessor and collector shall be in the form of an electronic notation placed on or removed from the department's vehicle license record by the county assessor and collector denoting that the vehicle has been assessed and that the owner owes no delinquent personal property taxes. Prior to instituting such system the director shall continue to require vehicle owners to present proof that each vehicle has been assessed and that all personal property taxes due from the owner by the preceding October 10 have been paid before issuing or renewing any vehicle registration.
