Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SB 1101

Overview

Specifies that a third-party driver license provider may perform administrative functions or testing functions or both administrative and testing functions for the issuance and renewal of commercial driver licenses. Declares that the Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) cannot prohibit an authorized third party from printing an electronic certificate of title, registration card or windshield sticker.

History

An authorized third-party driver license provider must perform both of the following: 1) driver license skills and written testing; and 2) driver license processing. A person who is a third-party driver license provider may also be authorized to perform certain title and registration functions. An authorized third-party driver license provider must comply with all quality control requirements prescribed by ADOT. An authorized third-party driver license provider may perform administrative and testing functions for the issuance and renewal of commercial driver licenses as authorized by the Director of ADOT (Director) and according to federal law (A.R.S. § 28-5101.01).

An authorized third party is an entity that has executed a written agreement and is authorized by ADOT to perform limited or specific functions but is not authorized by ADOT to function as an authorized third-party electronic service provider (A.R.S. § 28-5100). The Director may establish a system to require the recording of certificate of title information for newly issued, transferred and corrected certificates of title through a cost-effective electronic media instead of paper documents. When establishing the system, the Director is required to: 1) establish procedures for issuing and maintaining an electronic certificate of title system applicable to all certificate of title transactions performed in this state; and 2) develop methods to electronically share information related to applications for certificates of title with law enforcement agencies and licensed entities (A.R.S. § 28-2064).
