(1) The State Tax Commission is authorized and directed to establish and maintain a vehicle registration renewal system whereby the license tag attached upon a motor vehicle or trailer may be issued for five (5) years with the approval of the License Tag Commission, except for motor vehicles registered in excess of ten thousand (10,000) pounds gross vehicle weight, and motor vehicles in a fleet registered under Section 27-19-66, apportioned vehicles, rental and commercial trailers and buses, which shall be issued for a period of time determined by the State Tax Commission. During each intervening year of the period for which license tags are issued, the State Tax Commission shall issue up to two (2) license decals, in lieu of the license tags, which will specify the month and year in which the license tag shall expire. Motor vehicles in a corporate fleet registered under Section 27-19-66, shall not be issued decals specifying the month and year of expiration.

Any series of tags may be cancelled by the commissioner with the approval of the License Tag Commission and a new series of tags issued.

(2) The license decals issued in lieu of the license tags shall indicate the month and the last two (2) figures of the year for which such license shall expire, and these decals shall be color coded so that it shall be possible to distinguish the year and the month for which such decals shall expire. The license decals shall be attached to the license tag of the motor vehicle or trailer, and when so attached shall be deemed to be the license tag for the ensuing registration year. The month decal shall be attached in an upright position in the lower left corner of the license tag, and the year decal shall be attached in an upright position in the lower right corner of the license tag. Decals specifying the month and year of expiration shall not be required to be attached to license tags on motor vehicles in a corporate fleet registered under Section 27-19-66.

Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the registration year shall be a period of one (1) year commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which the vehicle was acquired. Beginning October 1, 1982, original registrations of motor vehicles, except motor vehicles registered in excess of ten thousand (10,000) pounds gross vehicle weight, apportioned vehicles and buses, may be made and shall be prorated for a period of from six (6) to eleven (11) months according to regulations established by the State Tax Commission to reduce a disproportionate number of registrations for a particular month.

Beginning July 1, 1996, original registrations and renewal registrations of motor vehicles in individual fleets registered under Section 27-19-66 shall be prorated according to regulations established by the State Tax Commission so as to cause the registration of such fleet motor vehicles to coincide with the anniversary month for individual fleets established by the county tax collector.

The number of the license tag shall not exceed seven (7) letters, numbers or a combination of such letters and numbers. Also, on all tags sold and issued, an appropriate place will be provided thereon to place license decals indicating the expiration date of the tag. For the purposes of this section and Section 27-19-32, Mississippi Code of 1972, the term 'decal,' 'decals' or 'license decal' shall mean a tab, sticker or other similar device attached to a license tag which validates same for a stated period of time. One (1) license tag and up to two (2) license decals shall be furnished for all vehicles and shall be fastened immovably twelve (12) inches or more above the ground, at the rear of the vehicle under or over the rear light, with the number in upright position so that it will be plainly visible and legible at all times, and at night at a distance of sixty (60) feet. In the case of tractors or other motor vehicles drawing or pulling trailers, semitrailers or farm implements, the tag shall be fastened upon such vehicle twelve (12) inches or more above the ground, upon the front or back of such vehicle, with the number in an upright position. Such license plate, all characters and any legally affixed decals shall not be defaced, covered or obstructed from view by any object, decal, sticker, paint, marking or license plate bracket or holder. Any person who defaces, covers or obstructs any portion of a license tag with any sticker, decoration, paint, marking, license plate bracket or holder or any other thing or device, in such a manner that the characters and any legally affixed decals on the tag cannot be read, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not more than Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00). However, it shall not be unlawful for the county name to be partially or completely obstructed from view by any object, decal, sticker or license plate bracket or holder. Unless the license tag with current decals is fastened to the vehicle as herein provided, the said vehicle shall be regarded as operating without a license tag, and the owner or operator shall be liable for the penalties herein provided.

In addition to the above requirements, license tags for private passenger vehicles shall have a county designation thereon referencing the name of the county in which such vehicle is registered.

All distinctive motor vehicle license tags authorized and/or renewed after July 1, 2010, shall have a county designation thereon referencing the name of the county in which such vehicle is registered.

We've all seen them — personalized license plates that make a vehicle stand out or draw attention to the driver.

But there are unique combinations of seven letters and numbers that we will never see.

That's because the Mississippi Department of Motor Vehicles determines them to be too offensive.

The Clarion Ledger wanted to know more about these rejected plates — how the decisions are made and what the requests were. Here's what we found.

How does the department decide?

The DMV rejected applications for 26 personalized plates in 2018.

There's no manual or official policy regarding the approval of personalized plates, said Chris Necaise, staff attorney with the Mississippi Department of Revenue. DOR oversees the state's DMVs since the agency is responsible for collecting state and local tax revenues.

Rather, the department refers to state obscenity laws to determine whether 'a combination of letters or numbers which comprise words or expressions are considered obscene, slandering, insulting or vulgar in ordinary usage.'

'If such combination is considered by the one reviewing it to be obscene, slandering, insulting, or vulgar in ordinary usage, then issuance of the plate will be denied,' Necaise said.

Necaise said driver privacy laws prevent the department from releasing application information, which might provide more details on the applicant's thought process behind the plate request.

Still, a list of the rejected plates can be broken down into distinct categories: sex, vulgar language and violence.

But some rejected plates are more difficult to explain.

No sexual innuendo on license plates

Several of the rejected plates had some form of sexual act, innuendo or terminology in the applicant's combination of letters and numbers.

For example, any plate submitted to the DMV with '69' was rejected.

Other word combinations, however innocuous, were also rejected such as:

In some cases, plate censors will consult the Urban Dictionary to find out what the kids are saying these days, according to a story in the Los Angeles Times Magazine. https://qcyf.over-blog.com/2021/01/elmedia-video-player-pro-6-7-2.html.

One example seems to be the following plate request, which was denied.

'Feeling froggy' can mean multiple things, according to Urban Dictionary. It can refer to a physical provocation or be more sexual in nature.

In some corners, it can also refer to military slang, making the censors' job more tricky.

No vulgar language on license plates

Other rejected plates contain some form of vulgar language such as:

Or:

Hard to disagree with this one. But it's all about the language.

No violence on license plates

Other rejected plates included some kind of violent act, description or innuendo in the application. Consider the following, which is pretty upfront.

This one might seem like a public service announcement, especially for police, but it too was rejected.

So, what about these?

Other plate rejections are less easy to understand and the department did not offer an explanation when asked. https://placanober1973.mystrikingly.com/blog/keyflow-pro-1-6.

For example, this one deserved a followup from the DMV:

Here's what the department was probably thinking:
