Silver star, special license plate--application procedure--design--fee.
301.456. Any person who has been awarded the military service award known
as the "Silver Star" may apply for special motor vehicle license plates for
any 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. Any such person shall make application
for the special license plates on a form provided by the director of revenue
and furnish such proof as a recipient of the silver star as the director may
require. The director shall then issue license plates bearing letters or
numbers or a combination thereof as determined by the advisory committee
established in section 301.129, with the words "SILVER STAR" 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. Such plates shall also bear an image of the silver star.
There shall be an additional fee charged for each set of silver star license
plates issued pursuant to this section equal to the fee charged for
personalized license plates. There shall be no limit on the number of
license plates any person qualified under this section may obtain so long as
each set of license plates issued under this section is issued for vehicles
owned solely or jointly by such person. License plates issued under the
provisions of this section shall not be transferable to any other person
except that any registered co-owner of the motor vehicle shall be entitled to
operate the motor vehicle with such plates for the duration of the year
licensed in the event of the death of the qualified person.
