The Department of Revenue and the Georgia chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans said this week they reached an agreement on the redesign and that it could be available as early as next week.

Georgia’s new Sons of Confederate Veterans specialty license plate is expected to be available to paying customers in the next few weeks.
