AN ACT
To repeal sections 301.301, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof two new sections relating to stolen license plate tabs.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 301.301, RSMo, is repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 301.301 and 301.302, to read as follows:
301.301. Any person replacing a stolen license plate tab may receive at no cost up to [two] four license plate tabs per year when the application for the replacement tab is accompanied with a police report that is corresponding with the stolen license plate tab.
301.302. A citation shall not be issued to any person stopped by law enforcement for a missing license plate tab or tabs if such person indicates that the tab or tabs have been stolen and a check on such person's vehicle registration reveals that the vehicle is properly registered. A law enforcement officer may issue a warning under these circumstances. In the event a citation is improperly issued to a person for missing tabs when the requirements of this section are met, any court costs shall be waived.
