The Highway Patrol was tasked with enforcement of the vehicle codes and reporting roadways that needed to be repaired, or signage added or replaced. Still only vehicles that used the highways were subject to registration, and the two classes of Driver's Licenses was Operator's and chauffeur's. In 1935, the Department of Motor Vehicles was created.
The department of Motor Vehicles was within the Department of Finance in 1921. The provisions of the first Vehicle Act relating to the department went into effect 90 days after the close of that legislative session. The first act regulating the use of automobiles for safety reasons in California was established by the Vehicle Act of 1915. As part of the release of the report, Newsom announced the appointment of Steve Gordon as the director of the California DMV. On July 23, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom released a report by the California Government Operations Agency "DMV Reinvention Strike Team" detailing recommendations for improving DMV transparency, worker training and performance, speed of service, and overall consumer satisfaction. California has 26,957,875 licensed drivers. Also, as of December 2017, it maintained records for 30,112,927 persons, 33,993,857 driver licenses and/or identification cards (there is overlap as some persons can and do hold both documents), and 35,391,347 vehicles. As of December 2017, the DMV employed over 8,900 people-35% at headquarters and 65% at 172 field offices (and various other locations). It is headquartered in Sacramento and operates local offices in nearly every part of the state. The DMV is part of the California State Transportation Agency.
The DMV also issues identification cards to people who request one. It issues California license plates and driver's licenses.
The DMV works with the superior courts of California to promptly record convictions against driver licenses, and initiates administrative proceedings before its own administrative law judges to suspend or revoke licenses when drivers accumulate excessive convictions (as measured by a point-based system). It regulates new car dealers (through the New Motor Vehicle Board), commercial cargo carriers, private driving schools, and private traffic schools. The California Department of Motor Vehicles ( DMV) is the state agency that registers motor vehicles and boats and issues driver licenses in the U.S.
