SACRAMENTO (AP) — Furlough Fridays are back at California's DMV offices.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Thursday that all its offices will be closed for three Fridays in July as part of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's furlough order. DMV offices will be closed on July 10, 17 and 24. Schwarzenegger declared a fiscal state of emergency Wednesday and ordered a third furlough day for more than 200,000 state employees. The move will bring their total pay cut to about 14 percent. DMV offices had been closed Fridays back in February as part of an earlier budget battle. To help smooth driver's license applications and vehicle registrations, state officials are encouraging residents to schedule appointments in advance and to have all the necessary paperwork ready. |
