Testimony of John T. Yurconic Chairman Pennsylvania Online Messengers Association Presented to the Pennsylvania House Transporta
TESTIMONY OF JOHN T. YURCONIC CHAIRMAN PENNSYLVANIA ONLINE MESSENGERS ASSOCIATION PRESENTED TO THE PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE AUGUST 13, 2019 Mr. Chairman, my name is John Yurconic and I volunteer as the Chairman of the Pennsylvania Online Messengers Association (PAOLMA). On behalf of over 125 Pennsylvania small businesses in 59 Pennsylvania counties which serve the motoring public and PennDOT, I want to thank you, Chairman Carroll, and the members of the Committee for inviting us to present testimony regarding HB 1509 sponsored by Representative Barry Jozwiak. The Association supports an immediate repeal of the provisions of Act 89 of 2013 that eliminated the visible registration sticker on vehicle license plates as embodied in Title 75. HB 1509 implements such a repeal while offering other efficiencies by creating the 2-in-l sticker on the license plate. In addition to my work with the Association, I am President of The Yurconic Agency which owns and operates 11 retail messenger service stores available to consumers in Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, and Schuylkill counties. Online Messengers are private businesses contracted with PennDOT to provide driver licensing and vehicle registration services for customers via an online connection with the Department. The Messenger collects and remits the normal state fee and charges a service fee for, in many cases, providing the PennDOT product immediately across the counter to the consumer. Our stores provide a wide variety of services and products including notary services, driver record request, driver's license renewals, duplicates, photo ID cards, vehicle title transfers, vehicle registration renewals, license plate issuance, and much more. -
