AN ACT
To amend chapter 301, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to special license plates.
Section A. Chapter 301, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 301.3090, to read as follows:
301.3090. Any person who is serving on active duty in any branch of the United States military and is part of Operation Enduring Freedom may receive special motor vehicle license plates for any motor vehicle such person owns, either solely or jointly, other than an apportioned motor vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle licensed in excess of eighteen thousand pounds gross weight. Individuals who served on active duty in any branch of the United States military during Operation Enduring Freedom and were honorably discharged may also apply for these special license plates as set forth in this section. Any such person shall make application for the special license plates on a form provided by the director of revenue and furnish such proof of current service in Operation Enduring Freedom or proof of status as an honorably discharged veteran as the director may require. Upon presentation of the proof of eligibility and annual payment of a fifteen dollar fee, and other fees and documents which may be required by law, the director shall then issue license plates bearing letters or numbers or a combination thereof, with the words "OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM" in place of the words "SHOW-ME STATE". Such plates shall also bear an image of the American flag. The plates shall be clearly visible at night and shall be aesthetically attractive, as prescribed by section 301.130. No more than one set of special license plates shall be issued pursuant to this section to a qualified applicant. License plates issued pursuant to this section shall not be transferable to any other person except that any registered co-owner of the motor vehicle may operate the motor vehicle for the duration of the year licensed in the event of the death of the qualified person.
