Secretary seeks durable permanent license plates for Indiana
Indiana Secretary of State Frederick Schortemeier weighs plans for permanent plates but has not found a model that endures driving wear.

Law allows discretionary use of permanent plates, but Indiana will likely continue with annual plates for now.
