About this plate
ALASKA'S CURRENT STANDARD SERIES. The true start is much earlier, secondary sources put the gold Last Frontier base at July 2005 with continuous issuance since 1 JANUARY 2010, after the statehood commemorative base below was retired, but no agency or statutory instrument stating any of those dates was obtained, and a collector-site era table is exactly what this programme refuses to launder into a sourced year. THE SUPERSEDED STATUTE IS THE EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED IN 2010: AS 28.10.161(b)(1) as of December 2007 REQUIRED every passenger plate issued after 1 January 2008 to bear the statehood-50 design, and Alaska demonstrably does not issue that design now, so the paragraph must have been amended or repealed.
Region code notes
Alaska encodes no geography in the plate string and prints no borough or city legend.
