WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Kansas officials have delayed the launch date for its new vehicle plates.
State officials said Friday that the original Aug. 1 launch date for the license plates has been delayed until Aug. 15 due to issues in the new digital processing equipment.
Wichitas Center Industries will create the plates on demand using a digital printer that prints the tag information on a background, then bonds the background material to a metal plate. The plates were previously manufactured in bulk at a plant.
Johnson County is concerned the new system will confuse people because it involves a new delivery method. The new plates will be mailed to the customers home within 10-14 business days.
