HF 680: Allowing counties to collect a fee for the issuance and renewal of driver’s licenses and nonoperator’s identification cards to persons who reside outside the county

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Current law authorizes certain counties to issue driver’s licenses and nonoperator’s identification cards if the county meets standards set by the department of transportation. A county retains for deposit in the county general fund $7 of fees received for each issuance or renewal of driver’s licenses and nonoperator’s identification cards. This bill allows a county authorized to issue driver’s licenses to charge a $10 convenience fee for the issuance or renewal of a driver’s license or nonoperator’s identification card to a person who is not a resident of the county.
