The Department of Public Safety and the State Tax Commission must jointly study whether Utah's Driver License Division, Motor Vehicle Division, and Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division — currently split between two separate agencies — should be merged under one umbrella agency, examining potential cost savings, staffing efficiencies, data sharing improvements, and barriers to consolidation, with a written report of findings and recommendations due to the Transportation Interim Committee by November 30, 2026. The study provision automatically expires in 2027 and does not require any new funding.
