Bill > SB0237

This bill mandates that the Department of Public Safety and the State Tax Commission, which is responsible for collecting taxes, conduct a joint study to determine if it's practical to combine certain motor vehicle-related government offices, specifically mentioning the Driver License Division, the Motor Vehicle Division, and the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division, into a single agency. The study will examine potential cost savings, improvements in efficiency and customer service, and any legal or operational challenges to such a consolidation. The findings and recommendations, including whether to proceed with consolidation and how to implement it, must be reported to the Transportation Interim Committee by November 30, 2026. The bill also specifies that the requirement for this study will be repealed on July 1, 2027, and the bill itself will become effective on May 6, 2026.
