TITLE 24. TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES

DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES

Agency Decision

Title of Regulation: 24VAC20 - none specified.

Statutory Authority: § 46.2-203 of the Code of Virginia.

Name of Petitioner: David Adam McKelvey, Crandall & Katt.

Nature of Petitioner's Request: The petitioner requests the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to develop a regulation containing objective criteria regarding the award of DMV Select contracts to non-governmental entities that comply with the Virginia Public Procurement Act.

Agency Decision: Request denied.

Statement of Reason for Decision: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) currently provides instructions on how to become a DMV Select partner and an application to be considered as a potential DMV Select partner on its website. Regulations promulgated by DMV in response to this petition for rulemaking would not provide information regarding this process that is not found in these documents. As such, DMV has decided to not initiate rulemaking in response to this petition.

Agency Decision

Title of Regulation: 24VAC20 - none specified.

Statutory Authority: § 46.2-203 of the Code of Virginia.

Name of Petitioner: David Adam McKelvey, Crandall & Katt.

Nature of Petitioner's Request: The petitioner requests the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to develop a new regulation requiring DMV employees to fax requests for driver transcript information to other states when the other state will accept faxed requests for driver transcript information.

Agency Decision: Request denied.

Statement of Reason for Decision: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) currently accepts proof of a license from another state by fax. DMV additionally accepts records via the State-to-State Verification Service, which allows a state to electronically check with all other participating states to determine if the applicant currently holds a driver license or identification card in another state. This service is utilized by a majority of states, with several additional states at various stages of implementation. As any regulation promulgated by DMV in response to this petition for rulemaking would be duplicative of existing services, DMV has decided to not initiate rulemaking in response to this petition.
