## About this plate

That is a direct consequence of scale: Florida has "over 100" and publishes a 27-page brochure, California publishes three category lists and no total, and Alaska publishes everything on one page. Two findings worth carrying beyond this file. First, AS 28.10.181(d) specifies COLOURS IN STATUTE for the disabled-veteran plate ('the Alaska and United States flags and red, white, and blue colors'), which is the second statutory colour specification found in the pacific group after California's Legacy statute, the pattern is that legislatures specify colour when the plate is about identity, and delegate it when the plate is about administration. Second, Alaska sets every specialty FEE by statute (AS 28.10.421), so its specialty catalogue is reconstructible from the statute book alone; fetching that section is the cheapest high-value follow-up in this file.
