State Extends Grace Period For Expired Car Tags
Associated Press - Fri 07:27 PM 06/29/2012
The Kansas Department of Revenue announced Friday that the grace period will now end July 13.
Continuing problems with the state's new vehicle registration system prompted the state to extend a grace period for some Kansas drivers with expired motor vehicle tags.
The Kansas Department of Revenue announced Friday that the grace period will now end July 13. It will apply to those with last names starting in H or I, or vehicles with 30-day temporary tags that expire Saturday.
The revenue department says most county motor vehicle offices are no longer experiences backlogs and long lines that began when the state installed the new system in May.
Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan says in a news release that a widespread slowdown occurred Friday, reducing the number of transactions employees could process.
Law enforcement officers will use their discretion in applying the grace period in their counties.

Saw the new operating system first hand about a month ago. Unfortunately the new system was designed by people that would never have to sit and use it. It's not very user friendly at all. Definately not helpful to the myriad of people standing in line for hours and hours. When a new system like this is designed, the users should have front row seating and be afforded a very loud voice in design features. If my information is correct, the designers (Apple / Mac / IPhone types) were designing a system which would be mostly used by Microsoft / Android / Google types. Yes, there is a major difference in the way the two groups think. From screen layout, methods, the whole thought process is different. Hopefully next time will result in a better outcome.
