Whereas, the Division of Motor Vehicles has changed license plate numbers for many vehicle owners during the past few years just to give such owner a different number; and

Whereas, this service is not required since the vehicle is properly registered with a license plate, but is an effort by the Division of Motor Vehicles to satisfy the customer; and

Whereas, the number of requests are rapidly increasing and causing extra work on all employees;
