It’s now illegal for scalpers to sell driver’s license appointments in Broward — some good news for anyone who’s struggled to book a free meeting.

Residents had faced “extraordinary delays” and were unable to find “timely appointments for important services,” because others were taking the appointment slots to sell them. Broward County Tax Collector Abbey Ajayi on Wednesday touted the new county ordinance that bans advertising, marketing or selling appointments for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and the county tax collector’s office.

Ajayi called the new county ordinance — and a state law that will enact a ban statewide — “much-needed policies.”
