Explanation

(This amendment would authorize the DMV to eliminate the provision of refunds for partial-year vehicle registrations when vehicles are sold or registrations otherwise ended. Eliminating the refund of partial year registrations is estimated to generate an additional $3.2 million in nongeneral fund revenue for the department each year.)
