Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDThe Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles may hand off its power to enforce Florida's commercial driving school law to local tax collectors, through a formal interagency agreement.
Under such an agreement, a tax collector could ban driving-school owners and their agents from entering the tax collector's office or parking lot, unless they show up for their own personal business.
The tax collector could also demand a driving school's license and identification on the spot, enter the school's premises to check compliance, and prohibit fraudulent or deceptive practices.
A tax collector could also block any driving-school practice that undermines the integrity of how driver licenses are issued, a broader standard than ordinary fraud or deceit.
