Citing storm, Ala extends boat, car registration

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The state is extending the deadline for car and boat owners to register their vehicles.

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources says boat owners will now have until Feb. 10 to renew their vessel registrations.

Friday was the original deadline, but the agency extended the deadline because of the winter storm.

The Revenue Department also is citing the storm in extending its deadline to register, renew or transfer motor vehicles.

County and state offices all over Alabama were closed because of travel problems linked to the snow and ice storm earlier this week.
