Louisiana OMV sees improvement after system fix, Gov. Landry says
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Improvements have been made to the aging Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles system that has faced recent outage issues, Gov. Jeff Landry announced Wednesday.
Landry said it's been four consecutive days with no issues after one of the solutions the Office of Technology Services (OTS) suggested was applied. System repairs are ongoing.
'We're going to continue to work to stabilize the hardware, and at the same time, we're choosing a replacement to convert to a new system,' Landry said.
He credited new agency leadership for the fix. Former State Fire Marshal Bryan Adams was named the new OMV commissioner after Dan Casey resigned amid frequent outage issues. Adams said he planned to bring a ''One Team' approach' to update the decades old system.
An executive order on March 20 declared a state of emergency and suspended late fees for people with Louisiana driver's licenses up to 30 days past the expiration date.
