Nixa Education Foundation special license plate authorized, fee.

301.3162. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person,

after an annual payment of an emblem-use fee to the Nixa Education

Foundation, may receive personalized speciality license plates for any

vehicle owned, either solely or jointly, other than an apportioned motor

vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle licensed in excess of eighteen

thousand pounds gross weight. The Nixa Education Foundation hereby

authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multi-year

personalized speciality license plates as provided in this section. Any

contribution to the Nixa Education Foundation derived from this section,

except reasonable administrative costs, shall be used solely for the

purposes of the Nixa Education Foundation. Any person may annually apply

for the use of the emblem.



2. Upon annual application and payment of a fifteen dollar emblem-use

contribution to the Nixa Education Foundation, the Nixa Education

Foundation shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an

emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the vehicle

owner to the director of revenue at the time of registration. Upon

presentation of the annual emblem-use authorization statement and payment

of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the regular registration fees, and

presentation of any documents which may be required by law, the director of

revenue shall issue to the vehicle owner a personalized speciality license

plate which shall bear the emblem of the Nixa Education Foundation. 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. In addition,

upon each set of license plates shall be inscribed, in lieu of the words

"SHOW-ME STATE", the words "NIXA EDUCATION FOUNDATION". Notwithstanding

the provisions of section 301.144, no additional fee shall be charged for

the personalized specialty plates issued under this section.



3. A vehicle owner who was previously issued a plate with the Nixa

Education Foundation's 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 Nixa

Education Foundation's emblem, as otherwise provided by law. The director

of revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the enforcement

of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required by this

section.



4. Prior to the issuance of a Nixa Education Foundation speciality

plate authorized under this section, the department of revenue must be in

receipt of an application, as prescribed by the director, which shall be

accompanied by a list of at least two hundred potential applicants who plan

to purchase the speciality plate, the proposed art design for the specialty

license plate, and an application fee, not to exceed five thousand dollars,

to defray the department's cost for issuing, developing, and programming

the implementation of the specialty plate. Once the plate design is

approved, the director of revenue shall not authorize the manufacture of

the material to produce such personalized specialty license plates with the

individual seal, logo, or emblem until such time as the director has

received two hundred applications, the fifteen dollar specialty plate fee

per application, and emblem-use statements, if applicable, and other

required documents or fees for such plates.
