The bill proposes to repeal the existing section 301.144 of Missouri law and replace it with a new section that revises the fee structure for special personalized license plates. The new legislation establishes a fee of fifty dollars for the initial issuance or reissuance of these plates, replacing the previous fee of fifteen dollars. Importantly, the bill specifies that this additional fee will only be collected for new or reissued plates and will not be charged annually upon the renewal of existing plates. In addition to the fee changes, the bill maintains the requirements for the design and issuance of special personalized license plates, including standards for visibility and aesthetics. It also outlines the process for application and issuance, as well as the conditions under which personalized plates may be recalled. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for exemptions from the additional fee for certain individuals, such as veterans who have served twenty or more years and received an honorable discharge.
