If there is an "AND" conjunction on the face of the title, ALL owners must release the title.  With an "OR" conjunction, only one of the owners is required to release the title.

The plates should be removed and returned to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles unless the donor plans to transfer it to another vehicle in the same class.
