What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation must charge required fees for the initial issuance and renewal of a license authorizing operation of "Class D" vehicles, which are automobiles and most passenger vehicles, or "Class M" motor vehicles, which are motorcycles.
