Rules -- early renewal

The department shall adopt rules for the implementation and administration of the registration of motor vehicles under this chapter. The rules adopted by the department pursuant to this section must allow for:

(2) simultaneous registration of multiple motor vehicles that have common ownership;

(3) verification of compliance with 61-6-301 before registering or renewing a registration of a vehicle or issuing new license plates required by 61-3-332(3);

(4) automated mailing of license plates by the department or its authorized agent, including an agent under contract with the department pursuant to 61-3-338; and

(5) devising a method to place license plates that are issued on or before January 1, 2010, and renewed on or after January 1, 2010, on the 5-year reissuance cycle in a manner that minimizes production peaks and valleys.
