Smallmouth license plate in production
|
?Mr. Baker was recognized at today?s meeting of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission as the fisherman who put us over the top,? stated Bobby Wilson, TWRA Assistant Chief of fisheries. ?This was a team effort among our marketing, information and fisheries staff. It?s a huge win for our Agency. I can?t wait to see this beautiful plate on vehicles across the state.?
Tennessee law requires that, as with any specialty plate, a minimum of 1,000 be ? pre-sold? before it can be produced for the public. The deadline for the smallmouth plate to reach this goal was June 30, 2006.
The plates, featuring the work of renowned wildlife artist Al Agnew from a print titled Sunlight on Bronze, may be purchased soon at the county court clerk offices for $35.
As with other TWRA specialty license plates, the new smallmouth plate will cost $35 above the regular cost of registering a vehicle.
