License Plate Deadline Set in State
The 1982 license plates must be used by February 20, as stated by Lew Wallace, superintendent of the state motor vehicle bureau. He cited financial strain on car owners and the need for revenue to fund state operations, and urged early licensing to prevent tax collection delays. Authorities in many counties already pushed to speed licensing, and a fixed date nationwide would coordinate efforts.
