Additionally, the bill modifies the language concerning the disposition of registration and license fees, ensuring that fees collected are directed to the Commercial Driver License Fund for enhancements and related purposes as mandated by the Secretary. It also clarifies that expedited title processing service fees will be allocated to the fund for system enhancements and other related purposes, including those necessary for processing motor vehicle and driver's licenses. Overall, the amendments aim to provide clearer guidelines for the use of funds while expanding their intended applications.
