About this plate
WEST VIRGINIA GOVERNMENT-OFFICIAL PLATES. THE CITATION HERE IS A SECTION TITLE, NOT A SECTION TEXT, AND THAT IS STATED RATHER THAN GLOSSED: §17A-3-14a is named "Special registration plates for government officials" in the Code's own navigation, which sources the EXISTENCE of a distinct government-official series and nothing else. Eligibility, design and serial arrangement are all recorded gaps.
