Senate amendment to the 3rd edition adds the following.

Amends Section 19.2(f) of SL 2024-45 by extending the deadline by which the DMV must consult with DIT on the implementation of the cloud-based operating system from July 1, 2025, to January 1, 2026, and makes the following changes. No longer requires using the findings of the evaluation required by this section to make the vendor selection and no longer requires the vendor to oversee implementation of the cloud-based operating system, just requiring management of the system. Requires the DMV (along with DIT), instead of the vendor, to submit the required reports. Requires DMV to report by October 1, 2025, to the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee on the status of its evaluation of potential vendors and selection of the vendor.

Transfers the listed positions, including the salaries, property, and other funds allocated for the positions, from the Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles License and Theft Bureau, to the State Highway Patrol.

Requires that within the specified code of Highway Fund, the Office of State Budget and Management and the State Controller establish a new budget fund to support: (1) all positions transferred from the Department of Transportation to the State Highway Patrol in this act and SL 2024-57 and (2) the recurring transfer of funds from the Department of Transportation to the State Highway Patrol required by Section 3E.3(b) of SL 2024-57. Also requires the Office of State Budget and Management and the State Controller to create a new budget fund within the State Highway Patrol for all funds transferred in this act and Section 3E.3(b) of SL 2024-57. Effective July 1, 2025.
