Important Points to Recognize There is a distinction between “Issued” date and “Effective” date 2012 License issued Nov 28, 2011 becomes effective Jan 1, 2012 2012 License issued May 3, 2012 is not effective Jan 1, 2012 2. Depending on when issued, a 2012 License may not be “good for the entire year” (see second dot point above)

Why the “Issued” Date is Important Roadside enforcement Further questioning by the LEO Possible Audit referral Post-violation actions Possible waiving of penalty assessment

Benefits of FTPBP 1-2011 Provides the LEO additional information in the field Provides your carrier the chance of having their penalty assessment waived Saves time in your shop by not having to verify when the license was actually issued

Downside to FTPBP 1-2011 Requires minor programming to print the issued date on the license itself
