Dwyer pushes county level licensing plan in Pennsylvania
State Senator R Budd Dwyer proposes a bill to create a Department of Transportation Bureau of Motor Vehicle Offices in each county to localize licenses and registrations. He cites delays in 1971 forms and plates and says Ohio and others already use county level service. He notes March 31 mailing deadline if forms arrive by March 18 and invites locals to contact his Harrisburg office with current registration details for a 1972 form.
