## About this plate

LOUISIANA DEALER INVENTORY PLATES. The class is thoroughly sourced by the policy and the format is not, which is the recurring shape of this file. Worth carrying forward: Louisiana runs new-car and used-car dealer licensing through two separate commissions but issues them the same plate class, and it maintains a PERSONALIZED DEALER plate (R.S. 47:473.1) whose configurations Policy 21.00 expressly deconflicts against ordinary vanity plates, 'Identical personalized prestige plates cannot be issued, INCLUDING personalized prestige plates with the character configuration already on a personalized dealer plate.' Two vanity namespaces sharing one uniqueness constraint is a genuinely unusual registry design.
