## About this plate

SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNMENT REGISTRATION. Deliberately modest: the sourced fact is a distinct reduced-fee registration class with a distinct end-of-life rule, not a distinct plate design or serial series. Recording it this way keeps the useful part, the cancellation-on-transfer constraint, which is a genuine fact about the plate's lifecycle, without inventing a series that may not exist as a separate design.
