By rssfeeds-admin Landry issued an executive order on March 20. The order explained the many technical problems with OMV’s old system. These issues have caused regular closures of field offices and public tag agencies. In the order, Landry said the OMV’s application and database system, which is over 50 years old, is now unreliable. This causes delays in processing driver’s licenses, vehicle registrations, and reinstatements.
Landry’s emergency declaration temporarily suspends important rules. This includes parts of the Louisiana Procurement Code and the Information Technology Procurement Code. The goal is to speed up the rollout of a new OMV system.
The order also waives expiration rules for Class “E” driver’s licenses. It removes the $15 late renewal fee for licenses that are more than ten days expired.
“The current system is simply unsustainable,” Landry said. “We cannot allow technical failures to disrupt essential services for Louisiana’s citizens. This emergency order will clear the way for necessary improvements without unnecessary bureaucratic delays.”
The executive order stays in effect until April 19, 2025, unless extended or canceled.
