## About this plate

LET FREEDOM RING (2025-), THE CURRENT PENNSYLVANIA STANDARD ISSUE. The design name also differs by source, PennDOT calls it the 'Liberty Bell style' plate in prose while the plate itself reads LET FREEDOM RING, and this entry uses the plate's own legend as the name because that is what a person or a camera actually sees. PARALLEL ISSUANCE IS REAL AND AGENCY-STATED: PennDOT warns that 'Plates issued by third-party or non-Commonwealth vendors may still use the previous design', so the 2017 base is still entering circulation and the two series legitimately overlap.

## About the format

NO SEPARATOR, AND THAT IS SOURCED, NOT ASSUMED. The base it replaced printed ABC-1234 with a hyphen.

## Replacement

statutory text: 75 Pa.C.S. § 1331(f) requires the department to establish and administer a PROGRAM for the periodic reissuance of registration plates, addressing fee requirements, replacement on a STAGGERED BASIS, recycling of older plates and such other factors as it deems necessary.. execution quote: PennDOT, in its own words: 'Passenger license plates that start with a tag configuration "D", "E" and "F" are the oldest plates on the road. PennDOT has begun replacing the "D", "E" and "F" configuration through the mail.'. note: A PROGRAM, NOT A PERIOD, the third distinct US model. Florida legislates a flat 10 years; New York legislates nothing; Pennsylvania legislates an ongoing duty with staggering and recycling and lets the department choose the cadence. Note what PennDOT's execution reveals: the replacement front is running on SERIAL PREFIX, i.e. Pennsylvania is retiring plates by their position in the alphabet-sequence rather than by issue date. That makes the serial itself the age proxy, which is genuinely useful era-inference signal for a parse API.
