2 25 EXPLANATION
2 26 In 1993, a pilot project was established which authorized
2 27 the county treasurers to issue motor vehicle licenses,
2 28 including commercial driver's licenses, nonoperator's
2 29 identification cards, and handicapped identification devices.
2 30 The six counties chosen were Adams, Cass, Fremont, Mills,
2 31 Montgomery, and Page. This bill expands that original pilot
2 32 project to an additional 24 counties, four of which must be
2 33 with a population between 35,000 and 50,000 and makes the
2 34 initial pilot project counties permanent motor vehicle license
2 35 issuance counties.
3 1 The bill provides that moneys be allocated from the motor
3 2 vehicle division of the state department of transportation to
3 3 the 30 counties to pay for the costs of implementing and
3 4 maintaining issuance of the county motor vehicle license
3 5 stations.
3 6 This bill may include a state mandate as defined in section
3 7 25B.3.
