INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has selected a Valparaiso University Law School graduate to lead the state agency in charge of licensing Hoosier drivers and registering their vehicles.
Governor Holcomb announced Tuesday Joe Hoage, currently head of the Indiana Department of Labor, will take over as the new Bureau of Motor Vehicles commissioner May 28th.
Hoage served as general counsel for the BMV from 2017 to 2020 prior to being appointed Indiana's labor agency chief.
Holcomb said he selected Hoage for the BMV job in part because of his leadership when the Department of Labor responded to eight times the usual volume of workplace concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hoage is succeeding BMV Commissioner Peter Lacy who led the driver services agency since 2017 after previously spending two years as BMV chief of staff.
Governor Holcomb plans to name a new state labor department leader at a later date.
