New license plate stickers?

[Hoss]

I was at the stop light this morning from SB 169 getting ready to turn left (east) on 41st this morning when I noticed the vehicle in front of me had a month sticker on his license plate that was in a little different format.

For April, it usually just says: APR

This one said : 04 PW

I'm guessing (I thought I may have heard this sometime earlier this year) that OK is changing the format of the renewal stickers to include the county where the sticker was renewed?  Or even the county of most recent vehicle registration (because we sometimes live in a different county than where we renew our tags).

Anyone remember hearing this?  I know Kansas uses a two character code sticker to identify it's countiy of registration on their tags (JO = Johnson; CH=Chautaqua, etc).

Yeah, they changed it.  Seems kind of dumb though because they put numbers where it was the abbreviation of the month before.  Seems to me that it is easier to recognize people with their expired tags the other way.

Maybe it has to do with making tags more machine readable, at the expense of human readable.
