What changed in the latest version

The updated version of Senate Bill 2381 now specifies that the fee for obtaining a driving record for an employer of a commercial license holder has been increased from five to six dollars. Additionally, it removes a requirement for a biennial report to the legislative assembly on the state highway fund's finances. This change may simplify administrative processes and reduce reporting burdens for the department responsible for handling these records.
