## About this plate

THE HAWAII SPECIALTY INDEX, AND IT IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL FROM THE MAINLAND ONES. Three structural facts make it so, and all three are statutory. FIRST, it is a DECAL regime: § 249-9.3 puts a graphic on the uniform plate rather than manufacturing a distinct design, so a Hawaii specialty plate carries an ordinary county serial and is not distinguishable from a standard plate by its string at all, which is precisely the case a parse API must be told about rather than left to infer. SECOND, the money goes straight to the organization, which removes the fee-trust machinery that dominates Florida's and California's programmes. THIRD, there is NO COUNT and structurally cannot be one from a single source, because four county directors each run their own register. The honest record is the absence plus the eight named statutory programmes, not an invented total.
