The legislative transportation committee has adopted recommendations and taken specific legislative action to improve the department of licensing service delivery, as well as other transportation agencies' services.
The legislature has recognized the need to improve the department of licensing service-delivery system, specifically driver and vehicle licensing services. The legislature has provided funding for three separate strategic initiatives to enhance the department of licensing and other transportation related services offered to the public. The legislature, in this and previous legislative sessions, has provided funding for: (a) The licensing application migration project (LAMP); (b) a capital budget program; and (c) the reclassification of licensing personnel. The legislature funded these three strategic initiatives to improve services to the public.
Recognizing the significant changes required throughout the department as a result of the licensing application migration project, the new capital budget program, and the reclassification of licensing personnel, the legislature finds there is a need to develop a comprehensive strategic plan to establish the foundation for future changes which will be required to maximize productivity improvements associated with the three strategic initiatives, and to maximize customer service-delivery improvements.

(1)(a) By May 1, 1994, the department shall provide the legislative transportation committee and the office of financial management with a workplan for the development of a strategic initiatives plan.
(b) By September 1, 1994, the department shall provide the legislative transportation committee and the office of financial management with a plan implementing the above mentioned strategic initiatives and that profiles how and when the department of licensing intends to implement the changes necessary to achieve the benefits associated with such strategic initiatives funded by the legislature.
(2) The strategic initiatives plan shall include at a minimum the following elements: (a) Implementation schedule; (b) analysis of alternatives; (c) employee education and communication strategies regarding plan implementation; (d) an analysis of costs, benefits, and full time equivalents; and (e) a recommendation for a preferred alternative.
(3) The department may use up to $50,000 of the motor vehicle fund‑-state appropriation, and $50,000 of the highway safety fund‑-state appropriation provided for in this section for the development of the workplan and a strategic initiatives plan.
