“DMV appointments are clearly being held hostage by entities that don’t even need an appointment”<\/em><\/p>\n

El Cajon – Senator Brian Jones (R-Santee) today sent the following letter to Governor Gavin Newsom requesting that he sign Assembly Bill 317, a measure by Assemblymember Tyler Diep (R-Westminster), which would end the practice of private entities booking, blocking and holding for sale appointments at DMV offices:<\/p>\n

October 8, 2019<\/p>\n

The Honorable Gavin Newsom
\nGovernor of California
\nState Capitol
\nSacramento, CA 95814<\/p>\n

RE: AB 317 – Request for Signature<\/p>\n

Dear Governor Newsom:<\/p>\n

As a coauthor of Assembly Bill 317, I urge you sign this measure by Assemblymember Tyler Diep (R-Westminster) that would end the practice of entities “selling” Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) appointment times.<\/p>\n

Specifically, AB 317 will make it unlawful for any person (or entity) to sell, or offer for sale, an appointment time for in-person services at a California DMV office.<\/p>\n

While I strongly support our free-enterprise system and definitely encourage entrepreneurialism, continuing to allow private entities to book and hold DMV appointments by gaming the state’s computer system is not appropriate.<\/p>\n

Hard-working Californians don’t have time to stay up all night trying to book a DMV appointment on-line. DMV appointments are clearly being held hostage by entities who don’t even need an appointment.<\/p>\n

AB 317 passed both the Senate and Assembly unanimously. I encourage you to sign Assembly Bill 317 into law.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your consideration.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Brian W. Jones
\nSenator, District 38<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
