California AB1272 prohibits occupational licensees from using DMV identifiers in business names, phone numbers, or domain names.
California AB1272 amends the Vehicle Code to prohibit occupational licensees from using the initials "DMV," the Department of Motor Vehicles logogram, or the words "Department of Motor Vehicles" in any business name, telephone number, or internet domain name. This restriction aims to prevent licensees from implying an official connection with the DMV beyond their licensing status. The bill also makes it unlawful for any person to display signs, marks, or advertisements indicating an official connection with the DMV or the California Highway Patrol without lawful authority.
