What’s in it

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.

Read the full explanation

However, the county cannot charge the convenience fee to a nonresident person who pays property tax to the county if the person provides proof that they paid property tax, such as a receipt from the county treasurer or another form of proof as determined by the county. The county treasurer retains the entire convenience fee collected for deposit in the county general fund.
