- About this plate
- Every other state in group midwest-b yielded either an agency figure or a statutory enumeration; Kansas yielded neither, because its revenue department's site was unreachable and the statutory enumeration was not completed. The structural fact that IS sourced, that Kansas specialty plates are individually legislated and displace the general format rule via 8-147(c)'s opening words, is the more useful half for the parse layer anyway.
Legal basis and sources
- K.S.A. 8-147(c): 'Except as authorized by other provisions of law', the clause under which individually legislated Kansas specialty plates displace the general arrangement, and the per-classification uniformity rule https://www.ksrevisor.gov/statutes/chapters/ch08/008_001_0047.html
- K.S.A. 8-132(c): specialty and standard designs alike may be personalized, which is what makes the specialty serial space share the personalized caps https://www.ksrevisor.gov/statutes/chapters/ch08/008_001_0032.html
