Abolishment and immediate closure of satellite DMV offices

HB 2622 would eliminate all satellite offices of the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and require the agency to operate from a single office in the State Capitol building or as determined by the commissioner. Starting July 1, 2025, private organizations like the American Automobile Association (AAA) would take over services previously handled at satellite locations, including driver's license renewals and vehicle registrations. This bill transfers the delivery of these routine DMV services from state government to private entities without changing the core services offered. The change applies statewide and affects all West Virginia residents who currently use satellite DMV locations.
