(3) Counties using the alphanumeric system shall show on the license plates of motor vehicles or trailers licensed therein a combination of three letters followed by a combination of three numerals. The department may adopt and promulgate rules and regulations creating alphanumeric distinctions on the license plates based upon the registration of the motor vehicle or trailer and designating plate types that shall display county numbers on a statewide basis, taking into consideration cost, the need for uniformity, factors applicable to the production, distribution, and use of specific plate types, and any other factors consistent with the purposes of the Motor Vehicle Registration Act that the director deems relevant.
