Legislative Proposals

The Assembly proposes the following for the Department of Motor Vehicles:

-- Maintain the status quo for County Clerks' ability to process license and registration renewals rather than require a centralized procedure. This will provide motorists with a more responsive renewal process. This measure includes preserving the reimbursement percentage at 9.3 percent of gross revenues.

-- Restore the Department's procedure for mail labeling to ensure motorist privacy and increase the likelihood of accurate delivery of crucial department notices.

DMV RENEWAL CENTRALIZATION.
