DPS research contracts with Deloitte & Touche were mentioned last during the DPS hearing in surmising budgetary costs for implementing Real ID accounts and moving forward with continental U.S. inspections of licenses with consideration of citizenship.

DPS reorganization and budgets based on federal license regulations were part of the analysis propelling studies & reports generated by Deloitte and Touche.

Quote:
The report calls for rebuilding DPS from top to bottom. A spokesperson said we should not expect changes overnight. "Some of the things that the study recommends are going to require legislative action, some of them are going to require additional financial resources," said Mange.
