INDIANAPOLIS (AP): Gov. Mike Pence names Kent Schroder the interim commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Since June 1, Schroder served as the BMV chief of staff, after serving as its chief information officer since 2005. His responsibilities have included improving services, customer satisfaction, increasing revenue and reducing costs.

Pence says the appointment was effective Monday.

Scott Waddell announced his resignation as BMV commissioner last month.
