AN ACT
To amend chapter 301, RSMo, by adding thereto two new sections relating to special license plates.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 301, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto two new sections, to be known as sections 301.3139, 301.3140, and 301.3141, to read as follows:
301.3139. 1. Any Boy Scout of appropriate age as prescribed by law or parent of a Boy Scout may receive special license plates as prescribed by this section, for any motor 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, after an annual payment of an emblem-use authorization fee to the Boy Scouts of America Council of which the person is a member or the parent of a member. The Boy Scouts of America hereby authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear personalized license plates as provided in this section. Any contribution to the Boy Scouts of America derived from this section, except reasonable administrative costs, shall be used solely for the purposes of the Boy Scouts of America. Any Boy Scout or parent of a Boy Scout may annually apply for the use of the emblem and pay the twenty-five dollar emblem-use authorization fee at any local district council in the state.
2. Upon annual application and payment of a twenty-five dollar emblem-use contribution to the Boy Scouts of America, the organization shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the owner to the department of revenue at the time of registration of a motor vehicle. Upon presentation of the annual statement, payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the registration fee and documents which may be required by law, the department of revenue shall issue to the vehicle owner a personalized license plate which shall bear the emblem of the Boy Scouts of America and the words "BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA" 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.144, no additional fee shall be charged for the personalization of license plates pursuant to this section.
3. A vehicle owner, who was previously issued a plate with the Boy Scouts of America emblem authorized by this section but who does not provide an emblem-use authorization statement at a subsequent time of registration, shall be issued a new plate which does not bear the Boy Scouts of America emblem, as otherwise provided by law. The director of revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the administration of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required by this section. No rule or portion of a rule promulgated pursuant to the authority of this section shall become effective unless it has been promulgated pursuant to the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo.
301.3140. 1. Any Girl Scout of appropriate age as prescribed by law or parent of a Girl Scout may receive special license plates as prescribed by this section, for any motor 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, after an annual payment of an emblem-use authorization fee to the Girl Scouts of America of which the person is a member or parent of a member. The Girl Scouts of America hereby authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear personalized license plates as provided in this section. Any contribution to the Girl Scouts of America derived from this section, except reasonable administrative costs, shall be used solely for the purposes of the Girl Scouts of America. Any Girl Scout or parent of a Girl Scout may annually apply for the use of the emblem.
