Inspection Sticker Question

I swear they put a new policy in place to prevent people from ‘going over’ on their inspection stickers. I was due for a new sticker in June 2024 and for various reasons (travel, etc) I did not get my sticker until yesterday. I was fully expecting them to give me a sticker that expired in June 2025 based on when my old one expired but they gave me a January 2026. Did I make up this new policy?
