A. The director shall establish a system of staggered registration on a monthly basis to distribute the work of registering aircraft as uniformly as practicable throughout the twelve months of the calendar year.

B. All aircraft registrations under this article expire pursuant to schedules established by the director. The director may set the number of renewal periods within a month.

D. In order to initiate a system of registering or reregistering aircraft during any month of the calendar year, the director may register or reregister an aircraft for more or less than a twelve-month period, but for not more than an eighteen-month period, and may prorate the license tax by one-twelfth of the full annual amount for each full month of the registration cycle and shall charge a full registration fee.

E. The director or a registering officer may allow a person who owns two or more aircraft to register or reregister the aircraft for less than one year so that the aircraft's registrations expire on the same date.

F. The director shall adopt rules necessary to implement this section.
