[Nodxa] Amateur Radio Plates in Ohio

[Glenn Williams]

More information exists in today's Plain Dealer.

"The pandemic forced the state to implement a series of BMV 
restrictions.  The state created some leeway for drivers. it 
automatically extended expiration dates for licenses, ID cards, or 
vehicle registrations - including your plates and stickers -- that 
expired on or after March 9, 2020, for 90 days after the state of 
emergency ends or Dec. 1, 2020, whichever comes first.

The BMV's other innovative service, 'Get In Line, Online' is a virtual 
queuing system that allows customers to check into the deputy registrar 
location online and advance in line without physically waiting in the 
office."
