AN ACT

To amend chapter 301, RSMo, by adding thereto two new sections relating to
special license plates.



Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 301, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto two new sections,
to be known as sections 301.3098 and 301.3099, to read as follows:

301.3098. 1. Any member of the Kingdom of Calontir may receive special
license plates as prescribed by this section, for any motor vehicle such
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, after an annual payment of an emblem-use authorization
fee to the Kingdom of Calontir, a subdivision of the Society for Creative
Anachronism, of which the person is a member. The Kingdom of Calontir hereby
authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear
personalized license plates as provided in this section. Any contribution to
the Kingdom of Calontir derived from this section, except reasonable
administrative costs, shall be used solely for the purposes of the Kingdom of
Calontir. Any member of the Kingdom of Calontir may annually apply for the
use of the emblem.

2. Upon annual application and payment of a twenty-five dollar emblem-use
contribution to the Kingdom of Calontir, the organization shall issue to the
vehicle owner, without further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement,
which shall be presented by the owner to the department of revenue at the
time of registration of a motor vehicle. Upon presentation of the annual
statement, payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the registration
fee and documents which may be required by law, the department of revenue
shall issue to the vehicle owner a personalized license plate which shall
bear the emblem of the Kingdom of Calontir. 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of section
301.144, no additional fee shall be charged for the personalization of
license plates pursuant to this section.

3. A vehicle owner, who was previously issued a plate with the Society for
Creative Anachronism emblem authorized by this section but who does not
provide an emblem-use authorization statement at a subsequent time of
registration, shall be issued a new plate which does not bear the Society for
Creative Anachronism emblem, as otherwise provided by law. The director of
revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the administration of
this section, and shall design all necessary forms required by this section.
No rule or portion of a rule promulgated pursuant to the authority of this
section shall become effective unless it has been promulgated pursuant to the
provisions of chapter 536, RSMo.

301.3099. 1. Any member of the Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association may
receive special license plates as prescribed by this section, for any motor
vehicle such 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, after an annual payment of an emblem-use
authorization fee to the Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association of which
the person is a member. The Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association hereby
authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear
personalized license plates as provided in this section. Any contribution to
the Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association derived from this section,
except reasonable administrative costs, shall be used solely for the purposes
of the Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association. Any member of the Missouri
Civil War Reenactors Association may annually apply for the use of the
emblem.

2. Upon annual application and payment of a twenty-five dollar emblem-use
contribution to the Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association, the
organization shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an
emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the owner to
the department of revenue at the time of registration of a motor vehicle.
Upon presentation of the annual statement, payment of a fifteen dollar fee in
addition to the registration fee and documents which may be required by law,
the department of revenue shall issue to the vehicle owner a personalized
license plate which shall bear the emblem of the Missouri Civil War
Reenactors Association. 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.144, no
additional fee shall be charged for the personalization of license plates
pursuant to this section.

3. A vehicle owner, who was previously issued a plate with the Missouri Civil
War Reenactors Association emblem authorized by this section but who does not
provide an emblem-use authorization statement at a subsequent time of
registration, shall be issued a new plate which does not bear the Missouri
Civil War Reenactors Association emblem, as otherwise provided by law. The
director of revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the
administration of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required
by this section. No rule or portion of a rule promulgated pursuant to the
authority of this section shall become effective unless it has been
promulgated pursuant to the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo.
