MTR VEHICLE/OFFICE: Requires the office of motor vehicles to process reinstatements in person at all field locations (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)
This bill requires the Office of Motor Vehicles to handle vehicle reinstatement applications in person at all its field locations rather than allowing them to be processed remotely. The legislation directly affects drivers seeking to reinstate their licenses or vehicle registrations by mandating an on-site visit for these specific transactions. By removing the option for remote processing, the bill changes the administrative procedure for reinstatements to ensure they occur physically at a DMV office. This change applies to every field location of the agency, standardizing the process across the state.
