Bills Addressed: Action Taken:
HB17-1107 Amended, Referred to the Committee of the Whole





09:53 AM -- HB 17-1107



Representatives Thurlow and Bridges introduced House Bill 17-1107. The bill primarily modifies the statutes to update the term "Colorado State Titling and Registration System (CSTARS)" with the term "Driver License, Record, Identification, and Vehicle Enterprise Solution (DRIVES)." In addition, the bill:

    • replaces the CSTARS Advisory Committee, which is currently composed of seven county clerks, with the DRIVES County Governance Committee, composed of nine total members including six county clerks, two Department of Revenue (DOR) employees, and one Office of Information Technology (OIT) employee, who approve DRIVES' annual operating budget and may establish subcommittees and working groups to report to the committee;
    • authorizes the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to share images with driver license agencies in other states;
    • clarifies responsibility for title and registration documents between county clerks and DOR;
    • codifies in law the practice whereby county clerks transfer motor vehicle transaction revenue electronically to the DMV; and
    • aligns the terms "authorized agent" and "county clerk" to be synonymous, and redefines last know address for notifications regarding driving privileges.





    09:56 AM -- Ms. Maren Rubino, representing the DMV, testified in support of the bill. She distributed a handout to the committee (Attachment A). She gave the committee an update on the progress of the DRIVES project.
