2 2 department of transportation, customers in the six counties,
2 3 and other interested parties regarding the implementation of
2 4 an expanded system of county issuance of motor vehicle
2 5 licenses, including commercial driver's licenses.
2 6 The committee shall also do the following:
2 7 1. Make a comparison of the costs related to the issuance
2 8 of driver's licenses by the department and the six counties
2 9 and methods for tracking costs of issuance of driver's

2 11 necessary to track the costs to ensure the results provide an
2 12 accurate representation of the costs incurred by the counties

2 24 at some or all driver's license stations, whether the current
2 25 law should remain unchanged, or whether other changes should
2 26 be made. The recommendations shall include an analysis of the
2 27 potential impact upon the continued quality, consistency,
2 28 effectiveness, and services provided by current driver's
2 29 licensing operations for commercial and noncommercial drivers.
