The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) has announced that effective this week, the Motor Carrier Compliance Division (MCCD) has been renamed Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE). The new name will be reflected on all official materials, including vehicles, uniforms, patches, and other insignia.

The name change is a result of the passage of House Bill 116 (HB 116) during the 2025 Georgia legislative session, which amended Article 5 of Chapter 2 of Title 35 and Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. The updated name is “intended to better reflect the division’s law enforcement role and responsibilities.”

DPS stated that CVE will continue to focus on enforcing highway safety for commercial motor vehicles. Officers will conduct thorough inspections of commercial vehicles, drivers, and cargo, both roadside and at inspection stations or carrier terminals, to ensure public safety.

On July 11, 2025, the newly named Commercial Vehicle Enforcement division will welcome its 13th Commercial Vehicle Officer School at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, GA.

The renaming of the division aims to provide a clearer understanding of the division’s responsibilities and role in ensuring the safety of Georgia’s highways and roads. The Georgia Department of Public Safety remains committed to protecting the citizens of the state and promoting safe driving practices for all motorists.
