numbers.  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.  Handicapped parking places may only be used when a physically disabled occupant is in the motor vehicle at the time of parking or when a physically disabled person is being delivered or collected by a properly marked vehicle which is parked for the sole use of the physically disabled person.  No vehicle shall park in the access aisle.  Such parking violation shall be an infraction.  The use of a vehicle displaying a disabled license plate or windshield placard to park in a parking space designated for the disabled by a person not transporting the individual for whom the license or placard was issued shall be an infraction.  Upon conviction thereof, violators shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than three hundred dollars.

4.  No additional fee shall be paid to the director of revenue for the issuance of the special license plates provided in this section, except for special personalized license plates and other license plates described in this subsection.  Priority for any specific set of special license plates shall be given to the applicant who received the number in the immediately preceding license period subject to the applicant's compliance with the provisions of this section and any applicable rules or regulations issued by the director.  If determined feasible by the advisory committee established in section 301.129, any special license plate issued pursuant to this section may be adapted to also include the international wheelchair accessibility symbol and the word "disabled" as prescribed in subsection 3 of this section and such plate may be issued to any applicant who meets the requirements of this section and the other appropriate provision of this chapter, subject to the requirements and fees of the appropriate provision of this chapter.

5.  Any physically disabled person, or the parent or guardian of any such person, or any not for profit group, organization, or other entity which transports more than one physically disabled person, may apply to the director of revenue for a removable windshield placard to be hung from the rearview mirror of a parked motor vehicle.  When there is no rearview mirror, the placard shall be displayed on the dashboard on the driver's side.  The removable windshield placard shall conform to the specifications, in respect to size, color, and content, as set forth in federal regulations published by the Department of Transportation.  The fee for each removable windshield placard shall be two dollars and the removable windshield placard shall be renewed every year.  Only one removable placard may be issued to an applicant who has been issued disabled person license plates.  Upon request, one additional windshield placard shall be issued to an applicant who has not been issued disabled person license plates.  A temporary windshield placard shall be issued to any physically disabled person, or the parent or guardian of any such person who otherwise qualifies except that the physical disability, in the opinion of the physician, is not expected to exceed a period of one hundred eighty days.  The temporary windshield placard shall conform to the specifications, in respect to size, color, and content, as set forth in federal regulations published by the Department of Transportation.  The fee for the temporary windshield placard shall be two dollars.  Upon request, one additional temporary windshield placard shall be issued to an applicant.  Temporary windshield placards shall be issued upon presentation of the physician's statement provided by this section and shall be displayed in the same manner as removable windshield placards.  A person or entity shall be qualified to possess and display a temporary removable windshield placard for six months and the placard may be renewed once for an additional six months if a physician's statement pursuant to subsection 6 of this section is supplied to the director of revenue at the time of renewal.  The placard shall be renewable only by the person or entity to which the placard was originally issued.  Any placard issued pursuant to this section shall only be used when a physically disabled occupant is in the motor vehicle at the time of parking or when a physically disabled person is being delivered or collected by a properly marked vehicle which is parked for the sole use of the physically disabled person.

6.  Application for license plates or windshield placards issued pursuant to this section shall be made to the director of revenue and shall be accompanied by a statement signed by a licensed physician which certifies that the applicant, user, or member of the applicant's household is a physically disabled person as defined by this section.  The physician's statement shall be on a form prescribed by the director of revenue which shall include the physician's license number.  If it is the professional opinion of the physician who issues the statement that the physical disability of the applicant, user, or member of the applicant's household is permanent, this shall be noted on the statement.  In such instances, the applicant shall present the physician's statement which states that the applicant's disability is permanent to the director of revenue the first time the applicant applies for license plates or a removable windshield placard.  The applicant shall not be required to obtain a new physician's statement each time that the applicant applies for or renews license plates or a removable windshield placard; but, the applicant shall present a physician's statement each time the applicant applies for a temporary windshield placard or renews a temporary windshield placard.  Such physician's statement shall state the expiration date for the temporary windshield placard.  If the physician fails to record an expiration date on the physician's statement, the director shall issue the temporary windshield placard for a period of thirty days.  The director of revenue upon receiving a physician's statement pursuant to this subsection shall check with the state board of registration for the healing arts created in section 334.120, RSMo, or with the state board of podiatric medicine created in section 330.100, RSMo, with respect to physician's statements signed by podiatrists, to determine whether the physician is duly licensed and registered pursuant to law.  The [board] boards shall cooperate with the director and shall supply information requested pursuant to this subsection.  The director may, in cooperation with the [board] boards which shall assist the director, establish a list of all physicians' names and of any other information necessary to administer this subsection within the department of revenue if the director determines that such listing is necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.

7.  Where the owner's application is based on the fact that the vehicle is used at least fifty percent of the time by a physically disabled person, the applicant shall submit an affidavit stating this fact, in addition to the physician's statement.  The affidavit shall be signed by both the owner of the vehicle and the physically disabled person.  The applicant shall be required to submit this affidavit with each application for license plates.

8.  The director of revenue shall enter into reciprocity agreements with other states for the purpose of recognizing disabled person license plates or windshield placards issued to physically disabled persons in those states.

9.  When a person to whom disabled person license plates or a removable or temporary windshield placard or both have been issued dies, the personal representative of such person shall return the plates or placards or both to the director of revenue under penalty of law.  The director of revenue may order any person issued disabled person license plates or windshield placards to submit to an examination by a chiropractor, osteopath, or physician, or to such other investigation as will determine whether such person qualifies for the special plates or placards.  If such person refuses to submit or is found to no lonliances, apparatus and equipment, and to accept or otherwise acquire, and to sell, assign, transfer, endorse, pledge, hypothecate and otherwise dispose of notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness and any and all types of security therefor;

On or before March first next following the delinquent date of taxes paid under protest, the county collector shall notify any taxing authority of the taxes paid under protest which would be received by such taxing authority if the funds were not the subject of a protest. Any taxing authority may apply to the circuit court of the county or city not within a county in which a collector has impounded protested taxes under this section and, upon a satisfactory showing that such re 114 counties in Missouri. INS states that any three or more counties may form a business association and file articles of association with INS. INS states that each filing for original and renewal licenses would be accompanied with a $100 license fee. INS estimates a range of $0 to $3,800 in revenue for the Insurance Dedicated Fund. INS anticipates that current appropriations and staff would be able to absorb the work duties in this proposal. However, INS states that if additional proposals are approved during the legislative session, INS may need to request an increase in appropriations due to the combined effect of multiple proposals.

The Missouri Association of Counties did not respond to our fiscal impact request. Oversight assumes there would savings in health care costs for jailed prisoners for those counties that would become part of an association. Oversight is unable to determine a fiscal impact on thouch protested taxes would have earned if they had been held and invested by the collector.

No appeal filed shall stay any order of refund, but the decision filed by any court of last review modifying the circuit court's or state tax commission's determination pertaining to the amount of refund shall be binding on the parties, and the decision rendered shall be complied with by the party affected by any modification within ninety days of the date of such decision. No taxpayer shall receive anyse counties due to the unknown of how many counties would join.
