HB 1374 -- Special License Plate

Sponsor:  Crawford

This bill allows for a special license plate.  The license plate
will bear the words "RESPECT LIFE" and an image of a single red
rose.

To obtain this plate, a person must get an emblem-use
authorization statement from the Missouri Alternatives to
Abortion Support Fund, which is created, and pay the fee of $25
per set of plates if annually registered or $50 if biennially
registered.  The authorization statement will be presented to the
Department of Revenue at the time of registration.  The fee
charged for personalized plates will not apply to this plate, and
there will be no limit on the number of sets of plates issued.

The General Assembly may appropriate moneys annually from the
Missouri Alternatives to Abortion Support Fund to the Department
of Revenue to offset costs incurred for collecting and
transferring contributions.  Until the amount in this fund
exceeds $1 million, not more than half of the money credited to
the fund plus all investment earnings credited to the fund during
the previous fiscal year will be available for disbursement.
When the State Treasurer certifies that assets in the fund exceed
$1 million, all earnings plus future credits to the fund from all
sources will be available for disbursement.  The bill specifies
how the fund will be used.
