SCS SB 1241, 1253 & 1189 -- SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES

This bill allows special license plates to be issued to members
of Delta Sigma Theta and Omega Psi Phi Greek organizations, the
Kingdom of Calontir and Missouri Civil War Reenactors
Association, and for Breast Cancer Awareness.  To obtain the
special plate, individuals must obtain an emblem-use
authorization statement from the respective organization ($25
contribution) and present it to the Department of Revenue along
with a payment of a $15 fee in addition to the registration fee
and any other documents required by law.  No additional fee will
be assessed for the personalization of these plates.

The bill 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 is registered
under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or an
equivalent law.  Current organizations have until January 1,
2004, to comply with the provisions of the bill.  The director
will require these organizations to verify their eligibility
status.
