Governor Mike Kehoe signed several bills last week, including , which changes the Missouri Department of Revenue's vehicle purchasing and registration processes and addresses the issue of drivers using temporary tags beyond their expiration to avoid paying taxes.

According to the department's director of communications, Jodonn Chaney, the hope is that the new bill will eliminate unpaid temporary tags, generating more revenue for the state's highways, roads and bridges, and streamlining vehicle registration processes.
The bill removes the option for a 90-day tag and will only allow DMV offices to issue 30-day temporary plates for trade-in cars that are still under a loan.
Drivers will also be required to pay their sales tax at the dealership prior to getting a temporary plate. This is a big change from the current policy, which allows 30 days from the purchase of the title to pay sales tax.

Additionally, the bill says that administrative fees will increase from 1% to 3.5% for the 'maintenance of the department's electronic vehicle titling and registration system.'
These changes are set to take effect on Aug. 28.

Your driver's license number may have changed, and it could cause headaches in the next election
Your driver's license number may have changed, and you might not even have realized it. That could cause problems if you go to request a mail ballot or submit a petition. The Florida DMV began issuing new, more secure driver's license numbers on July 31, 2024. It's easy to verify if your number changed. If the two-digit number within your license number isn't the same as the last two digits of your birth year, you likely need to update your voter registration information. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Brad Ashwell with All Voting is Local explained that your new license number won't automatically update with your local supervisor of elections. 'And that comes into play if a voter, especially voters who want to vote by mail, which is you know, hugely popular all over the state with both parties,' said Ashwell. Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland told Action News Jax it's important to note, in-person voting is not impacted. 'When it comes to Election Day voting, early voting, we're not looking at your driver's license number. So, that won't qualify or disqualify you,' said Holland. But with online vote-by-mail requests, Holland said issues can arise. However, those problems can be addressed with a simple phone call to your local supervisor. 'We can get the update from you when you request, but that's gonna cause a slowdown when you request your vote-by-mail ballot,' said Holland. Petitions could also be impacted. If you don't update your registration info and use your new license number on a petition, it can't be counted. 'So, that's where you do want that update prior to putting your new number on a petition form,' said Holland. The easiest way to avoid all of these issues is to simply check the box that you want to update your voter registration when getting your new license at the DMV. Just make sure to remember to also include your new driver's license number. 'It's really a good idea to update your registration information periodically anyways just to make sure you're active on the voter registration list and that you have your correct address, part affiliation, all those things in their files,' said Ashwell. Holland said he has asked the state whether it plans to eventually automatically advise Election Supervisors when a voter's driver's license number changes. He expects to get an answer Monday. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] Solve the daily Crossword

From crime to tariffs, Trump challenges the unacceptable. It's what good leaders do.
Progressives' meltdown over Trump sending 800 National Guard troops to help make DC's streets safe is an example of how wrong they've been about the consequences of the president's actions. Progressives have been consistently wrong about the consequences of President Donald Trump's actions. Their overreaction to Trump's decision to establish law and order in Washington, DC, is the most recent example. On Aug. 11, Trump described our nation's capital as full of "bloodshed, bedlam and squalor." He then deployed National Guard troops and vowed to take over the Metropolitan Police Department to 'help reestablish law, order and public safety' in the city. I lived in the DMV area − DC, Maryland, Virginia − for about a decade. Many of us have our own anecdotes, supported by data, about the decline of our nation's capital. Trump's order prompted a wave of fact-checking in mainstream media. The New York Times, for example, wrote about fact-checking Trump's "false and misleading claims" about crime. Progressive leaders insisted that the president was not only wrong but also acting like a bully. Did Trump exaggerate about the level of crime in Washington? Perhaps. But the reality is that the crime rate in the capital city is far above an acceptable level. See for yourself: Maybe people don't read those statistics and think Washington is filled with mayhem and squalor, but the city isn't just about midnight strolls beside the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, either. The president's order raises important questions: Just how much violence should we accept in our cities? Is there really no viable way to help more Americans feel safer in their homes and neighborhoods? Trump is challenging an unacceptable status quo, which is what good leaders should do. Are you worried about crime? Do you agree with Trump's actions in DC? Tell us. | Opinion Forum Progressives' meltdown over Trump sending 800 National Guard troops to assist in making Washington streets safe is another example of how wrong they've been about the consequences of the president's actions. Liberals were wrong about Trump's tariffs For months, liberals screamed that Trump was destroying the U.S. economy with his tariffs. Inflation would spike. Unemployment would skyrocket. The public would revolt because of the financial pain he was so ruthlessly inflicting on them. None of it has happened. According to the latest consumer price index data released Aug. 12, prices rose 0.2% in July, with the annual inflation rate at 2.7%. This spring, grocery prices fell at the fastest rate in five years. Gas prices were down nearly 10% in July from a year ago. The stock markets also have shaken off their fear of tariffs. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have set multiple record highs in recent weeks, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged almost 2% in the five-day period ending Aug. 13. That's fantastic news for the tens of millions of Americans who have retirement and other investment accounts. The doomsday predictions about tariffs from only four months ago turned out to be drastically overblown. But I have yet to hear any progressives publicly admit they were wrong. Trump's wins expose the left's disturbing pattern This pattern has happened on other issues, like border security. Under President Joe Biden, migrants crossed the border illegally in record numbers. Trump, after returning to the White House in January, quickly regained control. In fact, Customs and Border Protection reported that the agency released zero illegal immigrants into the United States in May. That was an incredible feat. Yet, it was hardly recognized in the news media. Opinion: Democrats have devolved into a clown show. No wonder polls show voters prefer GOP. The left has developed a pattern in overreacting to Trump that will ensure the Democratic Party's continued decline. It goes like this: Trump proposes a policy change or issues an executive order. Democrats and their allies in the media predict imminent doom. Trump's policy decisions turn out to be correct. Then progressives ignore the results and simply move on to shouting about something else. Progressives are so anti-Trump that they're now anti-common sense too. Democrats will pay a heavy price for traveling down such a self-destructive path. In 2028, voters will have to choose between a conservative candidate who stands for less crime, border security and balanced trade policies that promote prosperity and a Democratic candidate who rejects commonsense solutions for ideological reasons. I know who I'll choose. Nicole Russell is a columnist at USA TODAY and a mother of four who lives in Texas. Contact her at nrussell@ and follow her on X, formerly Twitter: @russell_nm.

California's Clean Air Vehicle carpool sticker program set to end in September
Drivers of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids across California will soon lose privileges to drive in the carpool lane solo, as the Clean Air Vehicle Decal program is set to end next month. According to the California Air Resources Board and the Department of Motor Vehicles, the last day to apply for a decal is Aug. 29. Decals will no longer be valid after Sep. 30. Officials said the program is ending due to the federal government not extending authorization for California and other states to issue decals. California officials had originally planned to extend the decal program through 2027. "While the federal government gives the DMV the authority to create the CAVD program, the state must follow federal regulations that are expiring," the agency posted on its website. Beginning Oct. 1, drivers with the stickers must meet posted occupancy requirements to use the carpool lane or risk fines. Along with the end of the privilege of driving in the carpool lane solo, drivers with the stickers will no longer receive discounted tolls. "The federal government's decision to eliminate this smart and popular program will hurt hundreds of thousands of California drivers, and these drivers will have to pay the price," a DMV spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News Bay Area. "It's a lose-lose situation and the state is now looking at other options to provide this service to Californians." Vehicles that are eligible for the stickers include electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen-powered cars, trucks and SUVs. California's clean air carpool sticker program dates back more than two decades. In 2004, the state approved issuing stickers to help promote the development of hybrid vehicles, a new technology at the time. The hybrid decals were limited to 85,000 vehicles and the original stickers expired in 2011.
