## 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 THE SUPERSEDED STATUTE IS THE EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED IN 2010: AS 28.10.161(b)(1) as of December 2007 REQUIRED every passenger plate issued after 1 January 2008 to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statehood-50 design, and Alaska demonstrably does not issue that design now, so the paragraph must have been amended or repealed.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.
