This bill provides that an advisory committee for the Department of Revenue must adopt more than one type of design and color scheme for license plates; currently, the advisory committee has discretion to adopt more than one type, but is not required.
Currently, license plates of a specific design and color scheme are exempt from the requirements that all license plates contain the words "SHOW-ME STATE". This bill repeals that exemption.
The seats of the Director of the Department of Transportation and the executive director of the State Historical Society of Missouri are removed from the advisory committee.
The bill specifies that the General Assembly may appropriate State Highways and Transportation Department funds for the requirements of the bill and Section 301.130, RSMo regardless for what Section 226.200 allows the State Highways and Transportation Department Fund to be used for.
Uniform design and license plate parameters must be developed by January 1, 2025.
The advisory committee will advise the Director of the Department of Revenue to implement its final design of the uniform motor vehicle license plates and any specific parameters for license plates developed by the committee no later than January 1, 2027.
