Moderators Moderator_02 Posted January 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2020 Quote Mayor’s office seeks to extend license plates to five years Posted 17/01/2020 The Panama Mayor's Office is seeking to extend the validity of vehicle license plates to five years. Deputy Mayor Judy Meana said the measure seeks to have the plates delivered, at least, every five years, and not annually as at present .“The mayor (José Luis Fábrega) is in talks with The Chapala Vocational Center so that the plates are not changed annually,. This will contribute to reducing environmental pollution”, said Meana. The vice said that negotiations also include seeking substitute income for the school that works with children at social risk that are remitted by juvenile courts. They make the license plates and that represents the main economic income that it uses in its program of rehabilitation of the young people. The Ministry of Social Development and the National Secretariat of Children, Adolescents and Family. and The Mayor's Office of Panama annually distributes around 700,000 plates and this year budgeted $3.5 million for their preparation. https://www.newsroompanama.com/environment/mayors-office-seeks-to-extend-license-plates-to-five-years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) The operating expenses of a juvenile correctional facility shouldn’t have to rely on income gained by the labor of inmates. The issuance of new metal Placas every year is a huge governmental time and money waster at several levels. * The proposal doesn’t mean that fees won’t continue to be paid annually.

Brundageba Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Seems a waste to produce a metal plate each year when a renewal sticker might suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Doug Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The annual plate replacement here in Panama was one of the oddest things I have encountered. Of course, it seems odd that the annual vehicle inspection doesn't involve an inspection of anything except the paint colors, LIKE THAT MATTERS.
