HCS SCS SB 960 -- SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES

This bill creates the "GOD BLESS AMERICA," "AIR MEDAL," and "I'M
PET FRIENDLY" license plates.

To obtain the God Bless America plate, a person must make a $10
contribution to the World War II Memorial Fund.  The person must
also pay an additional $15 fee to the Department of Revenue in
addition to regular registration fees.

To obtain the Air Medal plate, a person must furnish proof of
receiving the medal as required by the Director of the Department
of Revenue and pay a $15 fee in addition to regular registration
fees.  There will be no limit on the number of license plates any
person may obtain.

To obtain the I'm Pet Friendly plate, a person must get a use
authorization statement ($25 contribution) from the Missouri
State Humane Association and present the statement and payment of
a $15 fee in addition to the regular registration fees to the
Department of Revenue.  No additional fee will be charged for the
personalization of the license plate.  The bill creates a
Missouri Pet Spay/Neuter Fund in which moneys collected from the
contribution will be deposited.  The fund will be administered by
the Department of Agriculture.  Moneys deposited in the fund will
be paid as grants to humane societies, local municipal animal
shelters, and non-profit organizations to be used solely for the
spaying and neutering of dogs and cats.  The Governor will be
required to appoint a volunteer board consisting of three
members.  Two of these members must be administrators of local
municipal animal shelters and one must be an administrator of a
humane society.  The terms of the board will be for three years
and each of the members must be from separate congressional
districts.
