The Oklahoma Legislature has passed and it is now law, for the Pancreatic Cancer license plate.   Application forms will be coming out soon.
 
The Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Division has said it is quite possible the plates will be ready to be mailed, to those making application, by Nov. 1. 

The plate prefix will be PCR (pancreatic cancer research) with a number following the center ribbon.   Or, you may personalize your plate with all letters.
