Vehicle class
Specialty: optional-design programs on standard serials (US state programs). Issued for car, van, truck, motorcycle, and trailer.
About this plate
Three findings worth carrying. FIRST, the count is given twice and honestly: the agency says "hundreds", the agency's own list enumerates to 340, and the two are recorded separately rather than blended. SECOND, Georgia marks dead programmes inline, so authorised-versus-obtainable is first-party data here rather than an inference. THIRD, and this is the one that constrains future work: Georgia OWNS these designs by statute. Of all the specialty catalogues in the US pass, this is the one where the §2.5 discipline, index the programmes, never the designs, stops being a scope decision and becomes a legal one.
