AB 398 California Assembly · 2021-2022 Regular Session

Department of Motor Vehicles: records.

Summary

Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to permit inspection of, or sell, or both, information from its records concerning the registration of a vehicle or information from the files of drivers' licenses at a charge sufficient to pay at least the actual cost to the department for providing the inspection or sale of that information, except as specified. This bill would eliminate the authority for the department to sell vehicle registration and driver's license information, and would instead provide that the charge for providing the inspection of the information shall not exceed the actual cost to the department.
