The bill allows DMV to issue transaction receipts for expired vehicle registration renewals that will serve as evidence that the holder has complied with DMV payment requirements in order to allow those with expired registrations to renew such registration online. The bill allows DMV to extend the validity period for driver's licenses for persons absent from the Commonwealth during the expiration period of such licenses for good cause shown and payment of a fee.
