Trump-backed candidate proposes abolishing California DMV and implementing a flat car fee
TL;DR Summary
A Trump-backed California gubernatorial candidate, Steve Hilton, pledges to abolish the state’s DMV and replace car registration with a flat $73 annual fee, plus moving many functions online and shifting title/plate tasks to counties. The plan faces likely insurmountable legal hurdles in a Democratic-led legislature and has drawn safety-oversight criticisms, making passage unlikely even as Hilton trails in polls.
