The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 81, mandates that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles create a plan for the privatization of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This plan is to be submitted to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by October 1, 2026. The intent behind this legislation is to enhance operational efficiencies and reduce costs for the state.
The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the requirement for the Commissioner to develop and submit the privatization plan. The overarching goal is to streamline DMV functions through privatization, potentially leading to improved service delivery and financial savings for the state.
