Bill > AB1190

This bill amends the California Vehicle Code to modify regulations for private industry partners working with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in processing vehicle registration and titling transactions. Specifically, the bill limits second-line business partners (partners who receive information from a first-line service provider) to charging no more than the maximum amount a first-line service provider can charge for vehicle registration renewals processed on their websites. The bill also requires these second-line business partners to prominently display a link to the DMV's website with a statement informing consumers that they can obtain DMV services at no additional cost. This provision aims to ensure transparency and prevent excessive fees for vehicle registration services. The bill maintains existing requirements for private industry partners, including application processes, background checks, and bonding, while also preserving the DMV's ability to monitor and oversee these partnerships through annual reporting and regulatory oversight.
