Rep. Scott Suder, R-Abbottsford, has introduced a motion to prohibit the Division of Motor Vehicles from closing any service centers located in municipalities as of Dec. 1, 2006.
Suder said DMV centers have threatened closing due to Real ID mandates, and he said with the passage of the last bill (budget paper 795), that excuse no longer holds water. One such closure was threatened in his hometown.
Sen. Decker said the motion could have some unforeseen monetary implications, and that he finds it interesting that some members who are constantly trying to cut costs introduce motions that would keep service centers operating.
The motion failed on an 8-8 party-line vote, with Dems voting against.
