2)Requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to pilot and
evaluate a process to register votes in a process that ensures
voters fully complete the registration form.
3)Increases the vehicle registration fee by $10 per vehicle.
4)Includes provisions to clarify that to the extent Traffic
Congestion Relief Fund loans are repaid earlier with General
Fund instead of tribal gaming revenue, the tribal gaming will
be transferred to the General Fund.
5)Conforms to current federal law requiring that motorist over
age 62 seeks driver's license renewals every eight years,
rather than every 10. Also makes technical changes to vehicle
code to reference federal REAL ID where appropriate.

issuance process to federal law by requiring a motor carrier
first apply for a United States Department of Transportation
number before obtaining a California carrier identification
number.
7)Includes findings and declarations related to Green and White
stickers.
8)Appropriates $3.9 million to implement the New Motor Voter
program.

agreed to as part of the 2016-17 budget package.
