A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REQUIRE ALL VEHICLE REGISTRATION OFFICES OF THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO BE OPERATED BY A CONTRACT AGENT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-63(h) reads as rewritten:
"(h)	Commission Contracts for Issuance of Plates and Certificates. – All registration plates, registration cards, and certificates of title issued by the Division, outside of those issued and handled through the United States mail, shall be issued through commission contracts with one or more entities.  The Division must supervise the performance of the entities with whom it contracts.   Commission contracts entered under this subsection shall provide for the payment of compensation based on a specified rate for each transaction performed under the contract.  The applicable rate and the transactions to which the rate applies shall be set by the General Assembly each year in the Current Operations Appropriations Act.  If the General Assembly does not set a rate or the transactions to which the rate applies for a year, the rate or transactions last set by the General Assembly remain in effect.  Nothing contained in this subsection will allow or permit the operation of fewer outlets in any county in this State than are now being operated."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.  Notwithstanding the effective date of the act, the Division of Motor Vehicles of the Department of Transportation may issue registration cards, registration plates, and certificates of title from its Raleigh office and its Charlotte office until July 1, 1997, or until the effective date of a commission contract to provide these services, whichever comes first.
