OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to offer
the driver's license knowledge test in English, Spanish, and at least 34
other languages. DMV currently offers the test in English, Spanish and
10 other languages, so the requirements in the bill represent an
additional 24 languages beyond existing practice. This does not result in
a fiscal impact because DMV is developing the test in new languages
and anticipates meeting the requirements of this bill by the end of the
current fiscal year (FY 23).
The remaining sections of the bill are not expected to result in a fiscal
impact because DMV has existing expertise and operations in these
areas.
