Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter, the cabinet shall by January 1,
1978, establish a year-round system for the registration of vehicles under the
provisions of KRS 186.050(1). The system shall be designed so as to distribute
the work load as uniformly as practicable within the various offices of the
county clerks, as well as the cabinet, on a year-round basis. In implementing a
year-round registration system, the cabinet may establish separate and distinct
registration years. Each registration year so designated shall begin on the first
day of a calendar month and expire on the last day of the last calendar month
in a registration period. Registration periods may be designated to include less
than twelve (12) consecutive months and registration fees shall be computed at
a rate of one-twelfth (1/12) of the appropriate annual registration fee per month
in each registration period. The cabinet may establish a registration year of
more than twelve (12) months except that registration fees for designated
periods of more than twelve (12) months may be paid at the option of the
owner. The cabinet may promulgate reasonable administrative regulations to
carry out the orderly implementation and administration of the year-round
registration system. Any transaction relating to registration or registration
renewal which would cause an unexpired Kentucky motor vehicle license plate
to be surrendered shall have that unexpired fee prorated or credited against
any additional fee required by a subsequent registration.
