As Vice Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, Senator Tony Strickland (R-Huntington Beach) recently sent a letter to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) after learning that 11,000 Californians had received notices stating that their driver's licenses would be revoked in 30 days unless they retook the written examination.
From a Los Angeles Times report, the DMV letter states that the recipient's "driver's license test results indicate non-compliance with the driver testing criteria required by state law."
Senator Strickland released the following statement:
“The DMV is a state agency that serves millions of Californians, and they deserve clear communication along with timely information when something like this happens.
“I have heard from Californians who believe this language suggests the DMV is accusing them of cheating or engaging in misconduct during the examination process. Whether that is the Department's intent or not, the wording of the notice has created confusion and unnecessary anxiety.
“In my letter, I requested additional information about what happened and the steps the department is taking to address the issue.”
