Brief news conference

WHEN:

10:30 a.m. Thursday, June 30

WHERE:

WHY:

Secretary Johnson will discuss the launch of the third phase of the MI-TIME Line service, which allows customers to get in line online or by phone and to receive updates via text, saving them a wait in the office.

The program has been well received by customers at the first 18 Secretary of State offices that have implemented the technology and it is now being expanded to six more of the busiest branch offices throughout Michigan, including the Livingston County PLUS.

Johnson will also talk about what the office is doing to improve customer service online with ExpressSOS.com, which allows customers to bypass an office visit altogether.
