SCS SB 1241, 1253 & 1189 -- Special License Plates

Co-Sponsors:  Coleman, Bland

This substitute allows persons to obtain "Breast Cancer
Awareness" license plates after making an annual $25 contribution
to the Friends of the Missouri Women's Council.  The contribution
may be only used for breast cancer services.  In addition to the
$25 contribution, the person must pay $15 plus the regular
registration fees.  No additional fee will be assessed for the
personalization of these plates.

The substitute allows persons to obtain "Delta Sigma Theta" or
"Omega Psi Phi" Greek organization license plates after making an
annual $25 contribution to those organizations.  In addition to
the $25 contribution, the person must pay $15 plus the regular
registration fees.  No additional fee will be assessed for the
personalization of these plates.

The substitute also allows members of the Kingdom of Calontir and
the Missouri Civil War Reenactors Association to obtain special
license plates.  To obtain the plate, a person must get a use
authorization statement ($25 contribution) from the respective
organizations and present the statement to the Department of
Revenue at the time of registration along with a $15 fee in
addition to the registration fee and other documents required by
law.  Revenue collected from authorization contributions, minus
any reasonable administrative costs, will be used solely for the
purposes of the respective organizations.

The substitute prohibits the Director of the Department of
Revenue from issuing specialized license plates for sponsoring
organizations which raise revenues from the use of their emblems
on such plates unless the organization is a governmental entity
or a not-for-profit organization.  Current organizations will
have until January 1, 2004, to comply with the provisions of this
section.  The director will require the organizations to verify
their eligibility status.
