SB1101

THE CONTEXT: An authorized third-party driver license provider must perform both of the following: 1) driver license skills and written testing; and 2) driver license processing. A person who is a third-party driver license provider may also be authorized to perform certain title and registration functions.

WHAT THE BILL DID: The final vetoed version would state that an authorized third-party driver license provider may perform administrative functions or testing functions or both administrative and testing functions for the issuance and renewal of commercial driver licenses as authorized by the Director, prohibit the Director from prohibiting an authorized third party from printing an electronic certificate of title, registration tab or windshield sticker, and make technical and conforming changes.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to make the licensing pathway more workable while retaining a defined state standard. It would state that an authorized third-party driver license provider may perform administrative functions or testing functions or both administrative and testing functions for the issuance and renewal of commercial driver licenses as authorized by the Director, and would also prohibit the Director from prohibiting an authorized third party from printing an electronic certificate of title, registration tab or windshield sticker, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
