Department of Motor Vehicles: electronic vehicle registration services: interstate carrier partnership.

Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles, in order to continue improving the quality of products and services it provides to its customers, to establish contracts for electronic programs that allow qualified private industry partners to join the department in providing services that include processing and payment programs for vehicle registration and titling transactions. This bill would authorize the department, in order to provide electronic vehicle registration services, to enter into an interstate carrier partnership with an interstate carrier partner, if the partner meets specified requirements, and would authorize the department to enter into contractual agreements with 3 specified types of partnerships. The bill would authorize the department to adopt regulations to carry out the purposes of these provisions, including, but not limited to, establishing fees and safeguards for privacy and protecting information authorized for release, and to establish the maximum amount that an interstate carrier partner may charge its customers in providing the services authorized under these provisions.
