AN ACT
To amend chapter 301, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to license plates.
Section A. Chapter 301, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 301.134, to read as follows:
301.134. 1. Daughters of the American Revolution who has obtained an annual emblem-use authorization statement from the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution may apply for Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution license plates for any motor vehicle the person owns, either solely or jointly, other than an apportioned motor vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle licensed in excess of eighteen thousand pounds gross weight. The Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution hereby authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multi-year personalized license plates as provided in this section.
2. Upon application and payment of a one time twenty-five dollar emblem-use contribution to the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented to the department of revenue at the time of registration of a motor vehicle.
3. Upon presentation of the annual statement and payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the regular registration fees and presentation of other documents which may be required by law, the department of revenue shall issue a personalized license plate to the vehicle owner, which shall bear the emblem of the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution in a form prescribed by the director. Such license plates shall be made with fully reflective material with a common color scheme and design, shall be clearly visible at night, and shall be aesthetically attractive, as prescribed by section 301.130. A fee for the issuance of personalized license plates issued pursuant to section 301.144, shall not be required for plates issued pursuant to this section.
4. The director of revenue may promulgate rules and regulations for the administration of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, RSMo, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, and, if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo, are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2003, shall be invalid and void.
