Bill Summary
Department of Motor Vehicles; addresses. Authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles (the Department) to require any person submitting a form for which he must provide his current address, at the time of submission of such form, to present proof of residence at such current address. The bill authorizes the owner or lessee of any real property in the Commonwealth to notify the Department if the address of the real property is used for the issuance of a driver's license or special identification card that does not belong to any owner, lessee, or resident of the real property, and, provided certain conditions are met, authorizes the Department to revoke such driver's license or special identification card. Current law authorizes such a process in cases in which real property is used for the titling or registration of a vehicle that does not belong to any owner, lessee, or resident of such real property. The bill also authorizes, for both such cases when such certain conditions are met, the Department to disassociate the address from any account the person to whom the driver's license or special identification card was issued or the vehicle owner, respectively, holds with the Department.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to request proof of residence when someone submits a form requiring their current address, and it expands the ability for property owners to report fraudulent use of their address. Specifically, if a property owner or lessee finds that their address is being used for a driver's license or special identification card for someone who doesn't live there, they can notify the DMV. If certain conditions are met, the DMV can then revoke that license or ID and remove the incorrect address from the person's DMV account. This is an expansion of a current law that allows a similar process for fraudulent vehicle titling or registration at an address not associated with the vehicle owner.
