BILL ANALYSIS Ó SENATE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS Senator Ricardo Lara, Chair 2015 - 2016 Regular Session AB 82 (Cristina Garcia) - Vehicles: driver's license: selective service. ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Version: September 1, 2015 |Policy Vote: T. & H. 9 - 0 | | | | |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Urgency: No |Mandate: No | | | | |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Hearing Date: August 27, 2015 |Consultant: Mark McKenzie | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE *********** The following information is revised to reflect amendments adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015 Bill Summary: AB 82 would require the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to revise the application for an original driver's license to include a statement that allows an applicant to register with the federal Selective Service System (SSS), and specified disclosures related to registration with the SSS. The bill would be implemented on or before January 31, 2017 only if federal funding is provided to pay for all implementation and first year operating costs and the DMV enters into a specified memorandum of understanding with the SSS. Fiscal Impact: One-time DMV implementation costs, likely exceeding $550,000 in 2015-16 and 2016-17, primarily related to programming to identify male applicants between the ages of 16 and 26 and AB 82 (Cristina Garcia) Page 1 of ? affirmative responses, and updating and printing forms, including the addition of a third page to the driver's license application form to accommodate additional disclosures. (federal funds) Ongoing DMV costs of approximately $120,000 annually for continued printing costs related to the required SSS notices and for minor increases in field office staff time. First year operating costs will be covered by federal funds. Ongoing costs, beginning no later than January 30, 2018, are likely to be a General Fund obligation because the Motor Vehicle Account is an ineligible fund source for these activities. Committee Amendments: Delete provisions providing for automatic registration with the SSS for driver's license applicants who are required to be registered under federal law, and associated provisions providing for an "opt-out" mechanism. Delete the requirement to include specified notices on the driver's license application regarding consent to automatic registration with the SSS by submitting a driver's license application, and information on how an applicant can opt-out of registration. Require the application for an original driver's license to include a specified statement and place for a signature to allow an applicant to affirmatively consent to registration with the SSS, as well as a notice indicating the penalties for failure to register with the SSS. Specify that the submission of an application with an affirmative signature for registration would establish a conclusive presumption that the person has authorized DMV to forward information to the SSS that is necessary for registration. Prohibit DMV from forwarding personal information to the SSS of a person who did not consent to registration, except as provided in an existing memorandum of understanding between DMV and the SSS. Make other conforming changes. -- END -- AB 82 (Cristina Garcia) Page 2 of ?
