## About this plate

Two details are worth carrying: the threshold is SIGNATURES OF INTENT rather than applications, which is a weaker commitment than Illinois demands and predicts a larger, churnier catalogue; and 341.145 varies the personalized position cap BY PLATE TYPE, which means Wisconsin's owner-chosen serial space is not one grammar but four.
