God Bless America special license plate, application, fee.

301.3097. 1. Any vehicle owner may apply for "God Bless America"

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 a ten dollar contribution to the World War I memorial trust fund the

vehicle owner may apply for the "God Bless America" plate. If the

contribution is made directly to the Missouri veterans' commission they

shall issue the individual making the contribution a receipt, verifying the

contribution, that may be used to apply for the "God Bless America" 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 "God Bless America" 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 "God Bless America" 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 "God Bless America" plate shall bear the emblem of the

American flag in a form prescribed by the director of revenue and shall

have the words "GOD BLESS AMERICA" in place of the words "SHOW-ME-STATE".

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.



2. 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, 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, 2002, shall be invalid

and void.
