I don't know if there are other agencies that pay stipends for cars, but regardless they would only have a regular Hawaii License Plate. The one depicted in my picture is a plate only issued to State owned vehicles.
"No idea, but I do know state agencies do sometimes buy used cars."
That could be. But a 27-year-old Lexus? And the absence of a Safety Inspection Tag - or even remnants of an old one is interesting.

All EVs are state owned.
Well, if the State owns all the EV's they sure owe me a hell of a lot of money!

I don't know. I've noticed many state-owned vehicles without safety stickers. I agree the car looks odd, but also note the Hawaii state says privately and commercially owned vehicles need stickers. I haven't found out if state vehicles need one.
"With the exception of certain commercial vehicles, most privately owned vehicles are issued a safety inspection certificate that is valid for one year. The following documents must be presented to the safety check inspector" - https://www.hawaiicounty.gov/departments...nspections
If, arguendo, state-agencies don't need safety stickers, then what happens when their employees drive the vehicle for private use? I'd like to know the answer to that.
