Bill > S0584

This bill creates a new section of Florida Statutes that allows the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) to enter into interagency agreements with tax collectors to enforce regulations related to commercial driving schools. These agreements would delegate authority from the department to tax collectors, enabling them to take specific actions such as prohibiting commercial driving school licensees from entering tax collector premises without legitimate service needs, preventing fraudulent or deceptive practices that could undermine the driver's license issuance process, requiring licensees to present identification and licenses upon demand by law enforcement or authorized officials, and allowing tax collector employees to enter commercial driving school premises to ensure compliance with state and local laws. The bill provides tax collectors with broad powers to regulate and monitor commercial driving schools, with the goal of maintaining the integrity of driver licensing procedures. The provisions will take effect on July 1, 2026.
