Doyle, who took over at the Tax Commission in September 2019, will move to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. He will work with the stateâs chief operating officer, Steve Harpe, to find ways to make Oklahomaâs disjointed systems for driverâs licenses work better.

Oklahoma Department of Public Safety announces the opening of two megacenters in the state. These megacenters were developed in partnership with Governor Kevin Stitt s office, the Oklahoma legislature and the Department of Public Safety to meet the driver license and identification needs of Oklahomans. DPS employees have been working tirelessly to reduce the backlog of citizens needing driver licenses and identification cards, said DPS Commissioner John Scully. These megacenters will be open extended hours, rather than traditional business hours, and will provide convenient and efficient services for Oklahomans needing to obtain a REAL ID, driver license or identification card.
