Gov. Jon Corzine Thursday named Shawn B. Sheekey of Laurel Springs as acting administrator of the state Motor Vehicles Commission, replacing Sharon A. Harrington, who has been appointed to the state Casino Control Commission. Sheekey has served as deputy chief administrator since 2002.
"Shawn Sheekey has been an integral part of the historic reforms that have occurred at the Motor Vehicle Commission," Corzine said. "I am confident that he will continue to move the agency forward and build upon its many accomplishments."
As deputy administrator, Sheekey was instrumental in the overhaul of motor vehicle services beginning with the Fix DMV initiative and the subsequent New Jersey Motor Vehicle Security & Customer Service Act of 2003.
"I look forward to continuing the positive progress that our great MVC team has made since the commission's formation in 2003," Sheekey said. "I appreciate Governor Corzine's confidence in me.
Among the reforms Sheekey has overseen are the launch of New Jersey's first state-of-the-art digital driver license and the 6 Point ID verification system, introduction of comprehensive employee document fraud and customer service training and the de-privatization of more than 40 motor vehicle agencies with over 600 employees.
