Vehicle registration extended

At the request of Governor Bob Orr, Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael M. Packard last week announced the Bureau’s decision to extend Indiana’s vehicle registration period from six months to ten months. The decision is the first of a series of steps designed to improve public service at the state's license branches These improvements are a part of the governor’s overall program for license branch reforms which he expects will be enacted during the upcoming session of the General Assembly. “We see this as a reform which will benefit the public. In many urban areas of the state, there are long lines at the end of the month. This is an attempt to shorten those lines’’, Packard said. The BMV was given authority to extend the registration by Public Law 118 of the 1983 session of the General Assembly. While the new schedule takes effect in 1986, the expiration date of current registrations will not change. Registrations issued in 1986 will reflect the new schedule. “The change to a 10-month distribution schedule will result in no additional costs to the motorist,” Packard added. The new distribution schedule is as follows: Those with a current expiration date of January will not change. Those whose last names begin with A-B will expire February; C-D, March; E-G, April; H-I, May; J-L, June; M-O, July; P-R, August; S-T, September; U-Z, October. Please note... Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael M. Packard has offered clarification on the state’s recently announced decision to extend the Indiana vehicle registration schedule to a 10-month period. “This decision will have absolutely no effect upon the public until 1967,” Packard said. “We will Issue new registrations In
