This bill proposes amendments to the Code of West Virginia, specifically targeting the operations of the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It seeks to eliminate satellite DMV offices and transfer their functions to private organizations, such as the American Automobile Association (AAA). The bill stipulates that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles must maintain only one office located in a State Capitol building, which will be open for public business at reasonable times.

Additionally, the bill introduces new language that specifies the commissioner may only maintain this single office starting July 1, 2025, effectively ceasing the operations of satellite offices. The existing legal language that allows the commissioner to establish offices in various locations across the state is removed, reinforcing the shift towards privatization of DMV services.
