  3  shall be composed of two representatives appointed by the

  6  Inc., one from a small-population county and one from a

  7  large-population county; one person appointed by the Speaker

  8  of the House of Representatives; one person appointed by the

  9  President of the Senate; and the Governor's appointee.  If

10  requested by the task force, the Auditor General must provide

11  technical assistance.  The purpose of the task force is to

12  recommend the allocation of cost between the Department of

13  Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and tax collectors to

14  administer driver license services authorized in this chapter.

15  These recommendations must be submitted in a written report by

16  January 1, 2002.  The task force shall dissolve on January 1,

17  2002.  The written report shall be presented to the President

18  of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,

20  findings and determinations and related allocation

21  recommendations dealing with costs, both construction and

22  operating costs, of both the department and the applicable tax

23  collectors, appropriate allocations of costs between the

24  department and the tax collectors, and fee recommendations to

25  assure that the fees paid for these driver license services do

26  not result in a loss of revenue to the state in excess of

27  costs incurred by the state.
