## About this plate

THE TENNESSEE SPECIALTY INDEX, one entry standing for the program, per §2.5. The finding worth carrying forward is institutional rather than numeric, in Tennessee the specialty program is an arts-funding instrument that happens to be attached to vehicles, the arts commission takes forty percent of it, and consequently the authoritative public catalogue lives at the arts commission rather than at the revenue department. Any future pass that goes looking for Tennessee specialty data at tn.gov/revenue alone will find the thinner half of it.

## About the format

A match is a shape hit.
