California asks for IRP extension

Jan 3, 2007

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has asked all other member jurisdictions of the International Registration Plan to hold off through the end of February 2007 on any enforcement action against California-based IRP vehicles bearing 2006 credentials.

All California credentials for IRP expired Dec. 31, 2006, and the state says it always needs at least a 60-day extension for its carriers. The department plans to implement staggered registration for IRP in a few more years.

For more information, call the department at 916-657-7971.
