A bill in Missouri is being considered to address the challenge of keeping driver’s license offices open in rural areas. State Sen. Sandy Crawford’s bill, SB 1020, would allow the Department of Revenue to select a vendor without rebidding if no qualified bids are received. The Department of Revenue Director, Trish Vincent, supports the bill, citing difficulties in obtaining bids from qualified vendors. The bill aims to provide options for keeping license offices open in local communities while ensuring vendors are qualified to run them. The House Commerce Committee has not yet scheduled a vote on the proposal.
