"Effective January 1, 2021, the Division of Motor Vehicles will no longer issue or renew specialty license plates bearing the Confederate battle flag or any variation of that flag," the statement read. "The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has determined that license plates bearing the Confederate battle flag have the potential to offend those who view them. We have therefore concluded that display of the Confederate battle flag is inappropriate for display on specialty license plates, which remain property of the state."

The DMV also states that it has reached out – unsuccessfully – to the SCV about submitting an alternative design for the organization's specialty plate that does not contain the Confederate battle flag.

The DMV reaffirmed it remains open to considering an alternative design and would resume the issuance of a specialty plate for SCV members upon approval. But until such an agreement is made, it will "either issue SCV members standard plates and refund any specialty-plate fees paid or provide them with different specialty plates," according to the statement.

In its statement on the discontinuation, the DMV specifically cites that 1998 ruling in North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans v. Faulkner, in which the SCV sued the state for recognition as a civic organization that qualified for the issuance of a specialty plates. The SCV won the case in a ruling upheld by the N.C. Court of Appeals, leading to the introduction of the Confederate battle flag plate.

Abbott confirmed Monday the plates will remain valid for drivers who already have them until their renewal period. While they are not required to turn the plate in, it can no longer be used on their vehicle once expired and they must notify their insurance company if issued a new plate with a new number.

Last summer, the state said it had more than 2,500 active license plates that bore the SCV's Confederate flag emblem. On Monday, NCDMV spokesman Steve Abbott said that number had increased to 3,015. However, on Tuesday, he retracted that figure and said it still remained at 2,527.

Powell further challenged this claim, saying no one in the organization's leadership has been contacted by the agency about an opportunity to design another plate.

The plates incorporate a specific design for the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), an organization founded in 1896 by the United Confederate Veterans, who were men that fought in the Civil War and wanted to pass on the South’s heritage to their descendants.

The removal of the license plate, issued to members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization, quietly became effective at the start of the new year, according to a statement from the NCDMV.

In its statement, the NCDMV contends that it remains in accordance with the ruling, which it said does not extend to the actual contents of the specialty plate.

Powell challenged that stance on Monday and said the organization plans to fight the decision, having already assembled its legal team to look into the matter.

When speaking to the StarNews in July, Powell said the plates are used as a sign of membership in the organization and stated they had no plans of forfeiting them because they had to go to court to obtain them in the first place.

"Our plates were issued under a court order and it was upheld by the N.C. Court of Appeals," he said. "I don't care who is the commissioner of the Department of Transportation is, they cannot violate the ruling."

"Consistent with the ruling in North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans v. Faulkner, DMV will continue to recognize the North Carolina Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans (“SCV”) as a civic organization entitled to the issuance of a specialty plate," the statement read. "However, SCV’s classification as a civic organization does not entitle it to dictate the contents of the government speech on that specialty plate.

In July 2020, as the nation became embroiled in a reckoning with its racial past spurned by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody, the NCDMV acknowledged to the StarNews it had received complaints about plates bearing the Confederate flag, but had no plans to make changes.

"Since these efforts have proven unsuccessful so far, the DMV determined the agency would no longer issue or renew these specialty plates," the statement read.
