Audit finds DMV failed to collect $600,000 in trucking fines
CARSON CITY — The state Department of Motor Vehicles is delinquent in collecting $600,000 in fines assessed against truckers and other motor carriers, a legislative audit says.
The department failed to process 1,500 citations handed out by the Nevada Highway Patrol, according to the report presented to the Legislative Audit Subcommittee on Thursday.
Bruce Breslow, director of DMV, said the number of uncollected fines has been reduced to 1,000 since the audit, and he hopes to get caught up soon.
The infractions include such things as overweight vehicles, fuel tax and motor carrier violations and failure to have a proper trip permit.
The audit said the department is not adequately controlling motor vehicle registration decals and “revenues received and distributed by the Department in its internal accounting system were not adequately reconciled to the state accounting system.”
It said there were unreconciled balances as high at $2.5 million in fiscal years 2010 and 2011.
But Deputy Auditor Daniel Crossman said there is no evidence of any money missing.
