SB 81 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE PRIVATIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

SB 81 requires the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to develop a plan for privatizing state DMV operations and submit it to the transportation committee by October 1, 2026. The plan would detail how private companies might handle services like driver's license processing and vehicle registration, currently managed by state employees. The bill's stated purpose is to save state funds and improve efficiency through potential privatization. This legislation does not implement privatization but mandates a formal plan for legislative consideration.
