This bill proposes the repeal of section 301.472 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and enacts a new section regarding special license plates for the Kansas City Chiefs. The new legislation allows motor vehicle owners to obtain special license plates featuring the official emblem of the Kansas City Chiefs after paying an annual emblem-use authorization fee. The bill outlines the process for application, including the requirement for a minimum of one hundred applications before the plates can be produced. Additionally, it specifies that the emblem-use contribution fee is set at thirty-five dollars, and a fifteen-dollar fee is required for the issuance of the personalized license plate. Significantly, the bill includes a provision that states, beginning August 28, 2026, any emblem agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs will terminate, and no new license plates featuring the team's emblem will be issued. However, existing plates issued prior to this date will remain valid until they expire or are surrendered, and no emblem-use fees will be collected by the Kansas City Chiefs after this date. The bill also removes a previous requirement regarding the forwarding of emblem-use fees to the Chiefs' Children's Fund, indicating a shift in how funds will be managed moving forward.
