Summary

(1) Under existing law, subject to exception, an application for registration is required to be made to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 20 days following the date registration became due for a vehicle last registered in a foreign jurisdiction that is subject to registration in California. This bill would additionally provide that for a vehicle described above whose registration becomes due in 2018, an application for California registration is required to be made to the DMV within 90 days following the date registration became due. (2) Existing law prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle without a driver's license obtained from the DMV, except as specified. Existing law exempts specified nonresidents from the driver's license requirement, and further authorizes a person entitled to one of those exemptions to operate a motor vehicle in the state for no more than 10 days from the date he or she establishes residence in this state, except as specified. This bill would extend the period for which a person who is entitled to one of the above-mentioned exemptions and who establishes residence in this state in 2018 may operate a vehicle in the state to 90 days from the date he or she establishes residence in this state. (3) Existing law requires an applicant for the renewal of a driver's license to pay to the DMV a fee of $30 for that renewal. Existing law also requires a fee of $24 to be paid to the DMV upon an application for a duplicate driver's license. This bill would waive those fees for a person who renews his or her driver's license in person, or applies for a duplicate driver's license in person, before October 1, 2020, to obtain a Real ID driver's license if that person had previously renewed his or her license by mail or on the DMV's Internet Web site for a license that expired between September 1, 2018, and January 31, 2019. (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
