As a condition to the granting of an application for a certificate of title to the owner of a new or used motor vehicle, the commissioner may require that such certificate contain one or more of the brands described in section 14-174-3 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, or one or more of the legends referenced in section 14-174-4 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, or any combination of such brands and legends. Such condition to the issuance of a certificate of title may be imposed by the commissioner if the commissioner is aware of any state of facts warranting such action, including, but not limited to, facts indicated on any previous certificate of title or other official document or documents issued by any jurisdiction concerning the physical condition or ownership status of a motor vehicle. In any case where a brand or legend applied previously by another jurisdiction does not coincide with any of the brands or legends authorized pursuant to sections 14-174-3 and 14-174-4 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, the commissioner may decline to carry over the brand or legend or may, in the commissioner's discretion, apply the brand or legend that is closest in meaning and purpose to the brand or legend used by such previous jurisdiction or may, in the commissioner's discretion, apply the brand denoted in section 14-174-3(j) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
