Children's trust fund logo plates--annual fee for authority to use--design--deposit of fee in trust fund--sample plate display.

301.463. 1. The children's trust fund board established in section

210.170 may authorize the use of their logo to be incorporated on motor

vehicle 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

license plate shall contain an emblem designed by the board depicting two

handprints of a child and the words "CHILDREN'S TRUST FUND" and the children's

trust fund logo in preference to the words "SHOW-ME STATE". The license

plates shall have a common background and shall bear as many letters and

numbers as will fit on the plate without damaging the plate's aesthetic

appearance as determined by the director of revenue. Any vehicle owner may

annually apply to the board or director for the use of the logo. Upon annual

application and payment of a twenty-five dollar logo use contribution to the

board, the board shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, a

logo-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the vehicle

owner to the department of revenue at the time of registration. Application

for use of the logo and payment of the twenty-five dollar contribution may

also be made at the time of registration to the director, who shall deposit

such contribution in the state treasury to the credit of the children's trust

fund. Upon presentation of the annual statement, payment of a fifteen dollar

fee in addition to the regular registration fees and presentation of

documents which may be required by law, the department of revenue shall issue

a license plate described in this section to the vehicle owner.

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

charged for the personalization of license plates issued pursuant to this

section. There shall be no limit on the number of license plates any person

qualified pursuant to this section may obtain so long as each set of plates

issued pursuant to this section is issued for vehicles owned solely or

jointly by such person. The license plate authorized by this section shall

be issued with a design approved by both the board and the director of

revenue. The bidding process used to select a vendor for the material to

manufacture the license plates authorized by this section shall consider the

aesthetic appearance of the plate. A vehicle owner, who was previously

issued a plate with a logo authorized by this section and who does not

provide a logo-use authorization statement at a subsequent time of

registration, shall be issued a new plate which does not bear the logo, as

otherwise provided by law. Any contribution to the board derived from this

section shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the

children's trust fund established in section 210.173.



2. The director of revenue shall issue samples of license plates

authorized pursuant to this section to all offices in this state where

vehicles are registered and license plates are issued. Such sample license

plates shall be prominently displayed in such offices along with literature

prepared by the director or by the children's trust fund board describing the

purposes of the children's trust fund. The general assembly may appropriate

moneys annually from the children's trust fund to the department of revenue

to offset costs reasonably incurred by the director of revenue pursuant to

this subsection.
