SALT LAKE CITY — Lawmakers on the House Revenue and Taxation Committee voted to recommend SB 237, which authorizes a study to evaluate whether the Driver License Division, Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division and Motor Vehicle Division should be consolidated.
The sponsor told the committee the measure does not implement consolidation but directs study of whether consolidation would improve customer service, reduce duplication and provide cost savings. "All we're doing here is let's do a study to see if those should be consolidated in order to improve service," the sponsor said.
Representative Kristofferson, who moved the favorable recommendation, said the review should clarify responsibilities and identify duplication. Committee members generally expressed support for a study approach; no public testimony opposed the measure. The committee approved the motion by voice vote.
Next steps: SB 237 advances from committee; the study would be conducted according to the bill's provisions if enacted.
