Background: The Director of the Department of Licensing (DOL) maintains a case record on every person licensed to operate a motor vehicle in Washington. These case records, or abstracts, contain information relating to a person's driving record. The fee to obtain an abstract is $10 and the distribution of abstracts is restricted to certain persons and uses. The DOL may enter into a contractual agreement with an insurance company or its agent for the limited purpose of reviewing the driving records of existing policyholders for changes to the record and must establish a fee for this service, which may not result in a net revenue loss to the state.
Summary: DOL may enter into contractual agreements with an employer or the employer's agent to review the driving records of existing employees during specified periods of time for changes to the records. DOL must establish a fee for this service such that there is no net revenue loss to the state.
