Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's philosophy since he took office has been to "get sh-- done" and, finally, after about 25 years, he's unveiled a redesign of the state's license plates.

On social media on Tuesday, Gov. Shapiro unveiled a new design that is intended to "celebrate America's 250th anniversary," and invites drivers to "let freedom ring."

As detailed in an online history of the state's license plates, Pennsylvania hasn't seen a significant redesign of license plates in 25 years.

This new design will be available to order starting in 2025 ahead of the county's 250th birthday, which will be celebrated in 2026.

The state has set up a site to help drivers who want to be some of the first to obtain the new license plates. For more information, sign up here.
