## About this plate

MUNICIPAL / PUBLIC-SERVICE. Wisconsin legislates WHO gets these plates and WHAT THEY COST but nothing about how they look, the same split as the dealer series. Note the statutory inclusion of federally recognised Indian tribes and bands alongside the state, counties and municipalities: a sovereignty distinction that most state plate law elides and that a government-plate model should not flatten.
