Legislator Urges Support for DMV Service Privatization

State Rep. Sam Belsito is encouraging residents of Tolland, Ashford and Willington to make their opinions known regarding the privatization of Department of Motor Vehicles services.

In a note to constituents, Belsito wrote:

"On Wednesday, March 16, a public hearing will be held on a proposal which would help DMV run more efficiently. The proposed bill would allow the state to expand the types of services that can be performed by private contractors - such as AAA.

Currently, residents can obtain limited license services at AAA but there are many other services such as CDL licensing or title transactions that could be done. States across the nation provide efficient services and we should do the same.

This is an opportunity to reduce frustration at DMV branches, allow people to get things done more quickly and relieve stress levels for DMV employees and customers.

There is something you can do to help!

Click here to submit your testimony on why you support this bill to privatize DMV services and please be sure to copy me at Sam.Belsito@housegop.ct.gov. Your testimony can be as brief as you like. Just include your name and town. Refer to the bill as House Bill 5041."

The hearing will be held Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. in Room 1E of the Legislative Office Building.
