## About this plate

TENNESSEE STANDARD ISSUE, PLAIN OPTION. THE ROLLOUT IS UNUSUALLY SLOW BY DESIGN, and this matters for anyone reasoning about how many 2024-design plates exist. The Department is explicit that the new plate is issued for NEW REGISTRATIONS ONLY and "will not be issued upon renewal", with replacement otherwise limited to switching between the two legend options or to a lost, stolen, destroyed, mutilated or illegible plate. So the 2022 and 2024 designs will coexist on Tennessee roads for many years, parallel issuance in the §2.2 sense, made explicit by statute rather than by old stock running out.

## Separators

THE SEPARATOR IS THE STATE FLAG EMBLEM. On the 2022-and-later base the gap between the letter and numeral groups is occupied by a screened flag device, not by a printed glyph. Mississippi's magnolia does exactly the same job in the same group.
