Hilton Proposes Abolishing DMV, Cutting Registration Costs
Hilton said the plan would cut registration revenue from about $11 billion to $2.7 billion and shift routine services to local offices.
- On Tuesday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton proposed abolishing the California Department of Motor Vehicles as a stand-alone agency and capping annual vehicle registration fees at a flat $73.
- Standing outside the West Hollywood DMV office, Hilton described the agency as a "bloated nanny-state bureaucracy" and "miserable symbol" of government excess charging Californians excessive fees.
- The plan would reduce annual registration revenue from about $11 billion to $2.7 billion, which Hilton proposes offsetting through "Operation Zero Waste," aimed at reducing state spending.
- Implementing the proposal requires legislative action, including the "No More DMV Act," which would shift routine title and registration services to county offices and certified local service centers.
- Democrat Xavier Becerra's campaign communications director Jonathan Underland criticized outsourcing driver safety checks, saying "Nothing says 'safer roads' like outsourcing driver safety checks to the lowest bidder," ahead of their Sept. 30 debate.
