Sorry, but the regs will have been written for DMV employees; the governor can't tell them not to enforce a written law --- he'd be sued, and the courts would order that the law be enforced. Just as if Davis were to say he's "not going to enforce" Prop 13 --- the governor isn't above the law.
No, the best and only way to get rid of this law is referendum - - but Arnold's too much of a chicken - or a phoney - - to sign on.
"You'll be suprised how long it's going to take us to get these things issued." I didn't press him on whether he meant the Regs or the Licenses.
I could go into detail about the logistics involved here, but I can't. Let's just say that the DMV doesn't have the manpower to do this.
I'm actually surprised at the broohaha. The used to be no citizenship requirements for the issuance of a CA DL, anyway. I guess the threat of terrorism has had an effect on some of us.
In fact, it used to be that the tourists (especially Germans) would get a CA DL as a trophy on their vacation here...and to save the $5,000 it costs to get a DL in Germany!
Regulations were written for the Gun Registration deal I mentioned above, no one enforced them.
Of course, if enough people vote for Tom, the point is moot, becasue Croozzze-free-stuff-for-everybody Bustamove will set up a CA DMV in TJ...for the children, dontcha know...
