28 charge from the applicant in an amount not to exceed the fee prescribed for personalized license
29 plates in subsection 1 of section 301.144.
30 4. The plates issued to manufacturers and dealers shall bear the letters and numbers as
31 prescribed by section 301.560, and the director may place upon the plates other letters or marks

34 shall have displayed thereon the license plate or set of license plates issued by the director of
35 revenue or the state highways and transportation commission and authorized by section 301.140.
36 Each such plate shall be securely fastened to the motor vehicle or trailer in a manner so that all

45 visible. The license plate on buses, other than school buses, and on trucks, tractors, truck tractors
46 or truck-tractors licensed in excess of twelve thousand pounds shall be displayed on the front of

49 subsection 3 of this section, displayed in the same manner on the front and rear of such vehicles.
50 The license plate or plates authorized by section 301.140, when properly attached, shall be prima
51 facie evidence that the required fees have been paid.
52 6. (1) The director of revenue shall issue annually or biennially a tab or set of tabs as
53 provided by law as evidence of the annual payment of registration fees and the current
54 registration of a vehicle in lieu of the set of plates. Beginning January 1, 2010, the director may
55 prescribe any additional information recorded on the tab or tabs to ensure that the tab or tabs
56 positively correlate with the license plate or plates issued by the department of revenue for such
57 vehicle. Such tabs shall be produced in each license bureau office.
58 (2) The vehicle owner to whom a tab or set of tabs is issued shall affix and display such
59 tab or tabs in the designated area of the license plate, no more than one per plate.
60 (3) A tab or set of tabs issued by the director of revenue when attached to a vehicle in
61 the prescribed manner shall be prima facie evidence that the registration fee for such vehicle has
62 been paid.
63 (4) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the director of revenue shall issue plates
64 for a period of at least six years.
65 (5) For those commercial motor vehicles and trailers registered pursuant to section
66 301.041, the plate issued by the highways and transportation commission shall be a permanent
67 nonexpiring license plate for which no tabs shall be issued. Nothing in this section shall relieve
68 the owner of any vehicle permanently registered pursuant to this section from the obligation to
69 pay the annual registration fee due for the vehicle. The permanent nonexpiring license plate shall
70 be returned to the highways and transportation commission upon the sale or disposal of the
71 vehicle by the owner to whom the permanent nonexpiring license plate is issued, or the plate may
72 be transferred to a replacement commercial motor vehicle when the owner files a supplemental
73 application with the Missouri highways and transportation commission for the registration of
74 such replacement commercial motor vehicle. Upon payment of the annual registration fee, the
75 highways and transportation commission shall issue a certificate of registration or other suitable
76 evidence of payment of the annual fee, and such evidence of payment shall be carried at all times
77 in the vehicle for which it is issued.
78 (6) Upon the sale or disposal of any vehicle permanently registered under this section,
79 or upon the termination of a lease of any such vehicle, the permanent nonexpiring plate issued
80 for such vehicle shall be returned to the highways and transportation commission and shall not
SS SCS HCS HB 2380 14
81 be valid for operation of such vehicle, or the plate may be transferred to a replacement vehicle
82 when the owner files a supplemental application with the Missouri highways and transportation
83 commission for the registration of such replacement vehicle. If a vehicle which is permanently
84 registered under this section is sold, wrecked or otherwise disposed of, or the lease terminated,
85 the registrant shall be given credit for any unused portion of the annual registration fee when the
86 vehicle is replaced by the purchase or lease of another vehicle during the registration year.
87 7. The director of revenue and the highways and transportation commission may
88 prescribe rules and regulations for the effective administration of this section. No rule or portion
89 of a rule promulgated under the authority of this section shall become effective unless it has been
90 promulgated pursuant to the provisions of section 536.024.
91 8. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, owners of motor
92 vehicles other than apportioned motor vehicles or commercial motor vehicles licensed in excess

94 license plates. Vehicles licensed for [eighteen] twenty-four thousand pounds that display
95 special personalized license plates shall be subject to the provisions of subsections 1 and 2 of
96 section 301.030. On and after August 28, 2016, owners of motor vehicles, other than

98 thousand pounds gross weight, may apply for any preexisting or hereafter statutorily
99 created special personalized license plates.
100 9. No later than January 1, [2009] 2019, the director of revenue shall commence the
101 reissuance of new license plates of such design as [directed by the director] approved by the
102 advisory committee under section 301.125 consistent with the terms, conditions, and
103 provisions of [this] section 301.125 and this chapter. Except as otherwise provided in this
104 section, in addition to all other fees required by law, applicants for registration of vehicles with
105 license plates that expire during the period of reissuance, applicants for registration of trailers
106 or semitrailers with license plates that expire during the period of reissuance and applicants for
107 registration of vehicles that are to be issued new license plates during the period of reissuance
108 shall pay the cost of the plates required by this subsection. The additional cost prescribed in this
109 subsection shall not be charged to persons receiving special license plates issued under section
110 301.073 or 301.443. Historic motor vehicle license plates registered pursuant to section 301.131
111 and specialized license plates are exempt from the provisions of this subsection. Except for new,
112 replacement, and transfer applications, permanent nonexpiring license plates issued to
113 commercial motor vehicles and trailers registered under section 301.041 are exempt from the
114 provisions of this subsection.
301.134. 1. Daughters of the American Revolution who have obtained an emblem-use

5 vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle licensed in excess of [eighteen] twenty-four thousand
6 pounds gross weight. The Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution hereby
7 authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear personalized license plates
8 as provided in this section.
9 2. Upon application and payment of a one-time twenty-five dollar emblem-use
10 contribution to the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the Missouri
11 State Society Daughters of the American Revolution shall issue to the vehicle owner, without
12 further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented to the
13 department of revenue at the time of registration of a motor vehicle.
14 3. Upon presentation of the statement and payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to
15 the regular registration fees and presentation of other documents which may be required by law,
16 the department of revenue shall issue a personalized license plate to the vehicle owner, which
17 shall bear the emblem of the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution and
18 the words "MISSOURI STATE SOCIETY DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN
19 REVOLUTION" and shall engrave the words "SHOW-ME STATE". Such license plates shall
20 be made with fully reflective material with a common color scheme and design, shall be clearly
21 visible at night, and shall be aesthetically attractive, as prescribed by section 301.130. A fee for
22 the issuance of personalized license plates issued pursuant to section 301.144 shall not be
23 required for plates issued pursuant to this section.
24 4. The director of revenue may promulgate rules and regulations for the administration
25 of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is
26 created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies
27 with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028.
28 This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general
29 assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and
30 annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and
31 any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2004, shall be invalid and void.
301.144. 1. The director of revenue shall establish and issue special personalized license
2 plates containing letters or numbers or combinations of letters and numbers. Such license plates
3 shall be made with fully reflective material with a common color scheme and design, shall be
4 clearly visible at night, and shall be aesthetically attractive, as prescribed by section 301.130.
5 Any person desiring to obtain a special personalized license plate for any motor vehicle the
6 person owns, either solely or jointly, other than an apportioned motor vehicle or a commercial
7 motor vehicle licensed in excess of [eighteen] twenty-four thousand pounds gross weight shall
SS SCS HCS HB 2380 16
8 apply to the director of revenue on a form provided by the director and shall pay a fee of fifteen
9 dollars in addition to the regular registration fees. The director of revenue shall issue rules and
10 regulations setting the standards and establishing the procedure for application for and issuance
11 of the special personalized license plates and shall provide a deadline each year for the
12 applications. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is
13 created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies
14 with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028.
15 This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general
16 assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date or to disapprove and
17 annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and
18 any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2001, shall be invalid and void. No two owners
19 shall be issued identical plates. An owner shall make a new application and pay a new fee each
20 year such owner desires to obtain or retain special personalized license plates; however,
21 notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 8 of section 301.130 to the contrary, the director
22 shall allow the special personalized license plates to be replaced with new plates every three
23 years without any additional charge, above the fee established in this section, to the renewal
24 applicant. Any person currently in possession of an approved personalized license plate shall
25 have first priority on that particular plate for each of the following years that timely and
26 appropriate application is made.
27 2. Upon application for a personalized plate by the owner of a motor vehicle for which
28 the owner has no registration plate available for transfer as prescribed by section 301.140, the
29 director shall issue a temporary permit authorizing the operation of the motor vehicle until the
30 personalized plate is issued.
31 3. No personalized license plates shall be issued containing any letters, numbers or
32 combination of letters and numbers which are obscene, profane, patently offensive or
33 contemptuous of a racial or ethnic group, or offensive to good taste or decency, or would present
34 an unreasonable danger to the health or safety of the applicant, of other users of streets and
35 highways, or of the public in any location where the vehicle with such a plate may be found. The
36 director may recall any personalized license plates, including those issued prior to August 28,
37 1992, if the director determines that the plates are obscene, profane, patently offensive or
38 contemptuous of a racial or ethnic group, or offensive to good taste or decency, or would present
39 an unreasonable danger to the health or safety of the applicant, of other users of streets and
40 highways, or of the public in any location where the vehicle with such a plate may be found.
41 Where the director recalls such plates pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, the director
42 shall reissue personalized license plates to the owner of the motor vehicle for which they were
43 issued at no charge, if the new plates proposed by the owner of the motor vehicle meet the
SS SCS HCS HB 2380 17
44 standards established pursuant to this section. The director shall not apply the provisions of this
45 statute in a way that violates the Missouri or United States Constitutions as interpreted by the
46 courts with controlling authority in the state of Missouri. The primary purpose of motor vehicle
47 license plates is to identify motor vehicles. Nothing in the issuance of a personalized license
48 plate creates a designated or limited public forum. Nothing contained in this subsection shall
49 be interpreted to prohibit the use of license plates, which are no longer valid for registration
50 purposes, as collector's items or for decorative purposes.
51 4. The director may also establish categories of special license plates from which license
52 plates may be issued. Any such person, other than a person exempted from the additional fee
53 pursuant to subsection 7 of this section, that desires a personalized special license plate from any
54 such category shall pay the same additional fee and make the same kind of application as that
55 required by subsection 1 of this section, and the director shall issue such plates in the same
56 manner as other personalized special license plates are issued.
57 5. The director of revenue shall issue to residents of the state of Missouri who hold an
58 unrevoked and unexpired official amateur radio license issued by the Federal Communications
59 Commission, upon application and upon payment of the additional fee specified in subsection
60 1 of this section, except for a person exempted from the additional fee pursuant to subsection 7
61 of this section, personalized special license plates bearing the official amateur radio call letters
62 assigned by the Federal Communications Commission to the applicant with the words
63 "AMATEUR RADIO" in place of the words "SHOW-ME STATE". The application shall be
64 accompanied by a statement stating that the applicant has an unrevoked and unexpired amateur
65 radio license issued by the Federal Communications Commission and the official radio call
66 letters assigned by the Federal Communications Commission to the applicant. An owner making
67 a new application and paying a new fee to retain an amateur radio license plate may request a
68 replacement plate with the words "AMATEUR RADIO" in place of the words "SHOW-ME
69 STATE". If application is made to retain a plate that is three years old or older, the replacement
70 plate shall be issued upon the payment of required fees.
71 6. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any business that repossesses
72 motor vehicles or trailers and sells or otherwise disposes of them shall be issued a placard
73 displaying the word "Repossessed", provided such business pays the license fees presently
74 required of a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer in section 301.560. Such placard shall bear a
75 number and shall be in such form as the director of revenue shall determine, and shall be only
76 used for demonstrations when displayed substantially as provided for number plates on the rear
77 of the repossessed motor vehicle or trailer.
78 7. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any person who has retired from
79 any branch of the United States Armed Forces or reserves, the United States Coast Guard or
SS SCS HCS HB 2380 18
80 reserve, the United States Merchant Marines or reserve, the National Guard, or any subdivision
81 of any such services shall be exempt from the additional fee required for personalized license
82 plates issued pursuant to section 301.441. As used in this subsection, "retired" means having
83 served twenty or more years in the appropriate branch of service and having received an
84 honorable discharge.
301.145. Any person who has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor may
2 apply for special motor vehicle license plates for any vehicle he or she owns, either solely or
3 jointly, other than commercial vehicles weighing over [twelve] twenty-four thousand pounds,
4 as provided in this section. Any such person shall make application for the special license plates
5 on a form provided by the director of revenue and furnish such proof of receipt of the
6 Congressional Medal of Honor as the director may require. The director shall then issue license
