Fight Terrorism special license plates, application, contribution requirement--fee--rules authorized.

301.3123. 1. Any vehicle owner may apply for "FIGHT TERRORISM" 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. Upon making an annual

twenty-five dollar contribution to the antiterrorism fund established

pursuant to section 41.033, the vehicle owner may apply for the "FIGHT

TERRORISM" plate. If the contribution is made directly to the Missouri office

of homeland security it shall issue the individual making the contribution a

receipt, verifying the contribution, that may be used to apply for the "FIGHT

TERRORISM" license plate. If the contribution is made directly to the

director of revenue pursuant to section 301.3031, the director shall note the

contribution and the owner may then apply for the "FIGHT TERRORISM" plate.

The applicant for such plate must pay a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the

regular registration fees and present any other documentation required by law

for each set of "FIGHT TERRORISM" plates issued pursuant to this section.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.144, no additional fee shall be

charged for the personalization of license plates issued pursuant to this

section. The "FIGHT TERRORISM" plate shall bear an emblem prescribed by the

director of revenue and shall have the words "FIGHT TERRORISM" in place of

the words "SHOW-ME STATE". The insignia shall be affixed on multiyear

personalized license plates within the plate area prescribed by the director

of revenue. Such license plates shall be made with fully reflective material

with a common color scheme and design of the standard license plate, shall be

clearly visible at night, shall have a reflective white background in the

area of the plate configuration, and shall be aesthetically attractive, as

prescribed by section 301.130.



2. A vehicle owner, who was previously issued a "FIGHT TERRORISM" license

plate authorized by this section but who does not provide proof of the annual

contribution at a subsequent time of registration, shall be issued a new plate

which does not bear the emblem or motto "FIGHT TERRORISM", as otherwise

provided by law.



3. The director of revenue may promulgate rules and regulations for the

administration of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required

by this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in

section 536.010, 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 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section

and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the

general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 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.
