◆ The sponsor's argument

Why Christopher Ryan says this is needed

While members of the armed forces are away on deployment or training exercises, it is often impossible for them to complete the administra- tive requirements of vehicle registration renewal. However, under current law, service members are unable to personally renew their vehi- cle registration more than 60 days in advance of expiration, even if they have orders that prove they will be engaged in the performance of their official military duties at the time of expiration or 60 days prior. Instead, current law requires that service members have another person submit an "affirmation of renewal" on their behalf a needless burden for those looking to shore up their affairs early, and an impos- sibility for those who are stationed away from friends and family or are otherwise lacking in social support. This legislation aims to correct these administrative barriers by allow- ing members of the armed forces to renew their vehicle registration at any point in time by presenting their military orders to the DMV showing that they will be occupied in their official duties at the time of expi- ration, regardless of whether they are within the 60 day window for early renewal or not. This simple change will allow service members to more easily prepare for deployment, ensure their administrative affairs are in order, and streamline the process for those who may not have someone able to complete the affirmation of renewal on their behalf, giving the men and women of our military one less hurdle to clear so they can focus more fully on the mission at hand. BILL HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT: None.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
