## About this plate

MISSISSIPPI STANDARD ISSUE, 2024-2029 SERIES. THE PERIOD IS THE STRONGEST CLAIM IN THIS ENTRY, which inverts the usual shape of a US plate record and is the reason Mississippi is worth having early: the issuing agency names the window on its own page, and the statute behind the window is quoted by that same agency. Compare Alabama in this group, where the design is superbly sourced and the date is a collector's note. WHAT IS DELIBERATELY NOT CLAIMED: a serial-width cap (none found), a colour specification (none found), a display rule (none found), and a county decode (the block table is real but incomplete and period-dependent). Four honest gaps beat one invented fact.

## Separators

A SEPARATOR THAT IS NOT A CHARACTER, and the reason this entry is worth reading twice. On the 2024 base the gap between the letter group and the numeral group is occupied by a screened MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM on a blue circle, the emblem IS the separator. Tennessee in this same group does the same thing with a flag emblem; two states, one modelling rule.

## Replacement

years: 5. statutory text: § 27-19-31(1), quoted verbatim by the Mississippi Department of Revenue on its own plate page: "The Department of Revenue is authorized and directed to establish and maintain a vehicle registration renewal system whereby the license tag attached upon a motor vehicle or trailer may be issued for five (5) years with the approval of the License Tag Commission, except for motor vehicles registered in excess of ten thousand (10,000) pounds gross vehicle weight, and motor vehicles in a fleet registered, apportioned vehicles, rental and commercial trailers and buses, which shall be issued for a period of time determined by the Department of Revenue.". note: FIVE YEARS IS SHORTER THAN AAMVA'S ENTIRE RECOMMENDED RANGE, which runs 7 to 10. Florida legislated the top of the range at 10; Mississippi legislated below the bottom of it. Note also the third actor in that sentence, a LICENSE TAG COMMISSION whose approval the cycle requires.
