To amend chapter 301, RSMo, relating to the licensing of motor vehicles, by adding thereto one new section relating to the same subject.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:

     Section A. Chapter 301, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section to be known as section 301.465, to read as follows:

     301.465. 1. Any person who is an active member or alumni member of any Missouri chapter of the junior chamber of commerce may apply for special motor vehicle license plates for any vehicle he owns, either solely or jointly, for issuance either to passenger motor vehicles subject to the registration fees provided in section 301.055, or for a nonlocal property-carrying commercial motor vehicle licensed for a gross weight of nine thousand one pounds up through and including twelve thousand pounds as provided in section 301.057.

     2. 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 membership in the junior chamber of commerce as the director may require. The director shall then issue license plates bearing the words "MISSOURI JAYCEES" in place of the words "SHOW-ME STATE" in a form prescribed by the advisory committee established in section 301.129. 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. Such plates shall also bear the shield of the Missouri junior chamber of commerce to the left of the letters or numbers or combination thereof.

     3. There shall be a fee charged for each set of Missouri junior chamber of commerce license plates issued equal to the fee charged for personalized license plates in addition to other fees required by law. No more than one set of Missouri junior chamber of commerce license plates shall be issued to a qualified applicant. License plates issued under the provisions of this section shall not be transferable to any other person except that any registered coowner of the motor vehicle shall be entitled to operate the motor vehicle with such plates for the duration of the year licensed in the event of the death of the qualified person.
