Personalized license plates, appearance, fees--new plates every three years without charge--obscene or offensive plates prohibited--amateur radio operators, plates, how marked--repossessed vehicles, placards--retired U.S. military plates, how marked.

301.144. 1. The director of revenue shall establish and issue special

personalized license plates containing letters or numbers or combinations of

letters and 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. Any person desiring to obtain a special personalized license plate

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 shall apply to the director of revenue

on a form provided by the director and shall pay a fee of fifteen dollars in

addition to the regular registration fees. The director of revenue shall

issue rules and regulations setting the standards and establishing the

procedure for application for and issuance of the special personalized license

plates and shall provide a deadline each year for the applications. 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, 2001, shall be invalid and void. No two owners shall be issued identical

plates. An owner shall make a new application and pay a new fee each year

such owner desires to obtain or retain special personalized license plates;

however, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 8 of section 301.130 to

the contrary, the director shall allow the special personalized license plates

to be replaced with new plates every three years without any additional

charge, above the fee established in this section, to the renewal applicant.

Any person currently in possession of an approved personalized license plate

shall have first priority on that particular plate for each of the following

years that timely and appropriate application is made.



2. Upon application for a personalized plate by the owner of a motor

vehicle for which the owner has no registration plate available for transfer

as prescribed by section 301.140, the director shall issue a temporary permit

authorizing the operation of the motor vehicle until the personalized plate is

issued.



3. No personalized license plates shall be issued containing any

letters, numbers or combination of letters and numbers which are obscene,

profane, patently offensive or contemptuous of a racial or ethnic group, or

offensive to good taste or decency, or would present an unreasonable danger to

the health or safety of the applicant, of other users of streets and highways,

or of the public in any location where the vehicle with such a plate may be

found. The director may recall any personalized license plates, including

those issued prior to August 28, 1992, if the director determines that the

plates are obscene, profane, patently offensive or contemptuous of a racial or

ethnic group, or offensive to good taste or decency, or would present an

unreasonable danger to the health or safety of the applicant, of other users

of streets and highways, or of the public in any location where the vehicle

with such a plate may be found. Where the director recalls such plates

pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, the director shall reissue

personalized license plates to the owner of the motor vehicle for which they

were issued at no charge, if the new plates proposed by the owner of the motor

vehicle meet the standards established pursuant to this section. The director

shall not apply the provisions of this statute in a way that violates the

Missouri or United States Constitutions as interpreted by the courts with

controlling authority in the state of Missouri. The primary purpose of motor

vehicle license plates is to identify motor vehicles. Nothing in the issuance

of a personalized license plate creates a designated or limited public forum.

Nothing contained in this subsection shall be interpreted to prohibit the use

of license plates, which are no longer valid for registration purposes, as

collector's items or for decorative purposes.



4. The director may also establish categories of special license plates

from which license plates may be issued. Any such person, other than a person

exempted from the additional fee pursuant to subsection 7 of this section,

that desires a personalized special license plate from any such category shall

pay the same additional fee and make the same kind of application as that

required by subsection 1 of this section, and the director shall issue such

plates in the same manner as other personalized special license plates are

issued.



5. The director of revenue shall issue to residents of the state of

Missouri who hold an unrevoked and unexpired official amateur radio license

issued by the Federal Communications Commission, upon application and upon

payment of the additional fee specified in subsection 1 of this section,

except for a person exempted from the additional fee pursuant to subsection 7

of this section, personalized special license plates bearing the official

amateur radio call letters assigned by the Federal Communications Commission

to the applicant with the words "AMATEUR RADIO" in place of the words "SHOW-ME

STATE". The application shall be accompanied by a statement stating that the

applicant has an unrevoked and unexpired amateur radio license issued by the

Federal Communications Commission and the official radio call letters assigned

by the Federal Communications Commission to the applicant. An owner making a

new application and paying a new fee to retain an amateur radio plate may

request a replacement plate with the words "AMATEUR RADIO" in place of the

words "SHOW-ME STATE". If application is made to retain a plate that is three

years old or older, the replacement plate shall be issued upon the payment of

required fees.



6. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any business

that repossesses motor vehicles or trailers and sells or otherwise disposes of

them shall be issued a placard displaying the word "Repossessed", provided

such business pays the license fees presently required of a manufacturer,

distributor, or dealer in section 301.560. Such placard shall bear a number

and shall be in such form as the director of revenue shall determine, and

shall be only used for demonstrations when displayed substantially as provided

for number plates on the rear of the repossessed motor vehicle or trailer.



7. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any person who

has retired from any branch of the United States Armed Forces or reserves, the

United States Coast Guard or reserve, the United States Merchant Marines or

reserve, the National Guard, or any subdivision of any such services shall be

exempt from the additional fee required for personalized license plates issued

pursuant to section 301.441. As used in this subsection, "retired" means

having served twenty or more years in the appropriate branch of service and

having received an honorable discharge.

through S-34 and R-1 through R-163 to be issued to a member of

the general assembly of the state of Missouri while he is holding

special personalized license plates shall bear the letter S and

the public official shall surrender his personalized license

plates to the director, who shall make them available as provided

in this subsection to the succeeding public official.



7. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any

business listed in subsection 1 of section 301.256 that

repossesses motor vehicles or trailers and sells or otherwise

disposes of them shall be issued a placard displaying the word

"Repossessed" provided such business pays the fees presently

required of a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer in subsection

1 of section 301.253. Such placard shall bear a number and shall

be in such form as the director of revenue shall determine, and

shall be only used for demonstrations when displayed
