## About this plate

THE PREVIOUS STANDARD GRAMMAR, and the one with the best period evidence in the whole Connecticut file: its START is § 14-21b's own "on and after January 1, 2000", which is a statutory date, not a collector's recollection. Its END (2013) is secondary. Recorded rather than smoothed over.

## How numbers are issued

100 NZN to 999 ZZX, i.e. it CONTINUED the sequence of the 1987-1999 base rather than restarting, which is why the 2000 base's first plate is not 100 AAA
