11	11	AN ACT to amend 341.145 (3) of the statutes; relating to: personalized
12	12	registration plate fees for gold star family special registration plates.
13	13	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
14	14	This bill exempts special group plates for gold star families from personalized
15	15	registration plate fees.
16	16	Current law enumerates special groups whose members may obtain from the
17	17	Department of Transportation special motor vehicle registration plates. Among the
18	18	special groups is a group for persons who qualify under federal law for a gold star
19	19	lapel button (commonly known as gold star family), which signifies that the recipient
20	20	is the immediate family member of a member of the U.S. armed forces who died while
21	21	serving during a time of conflict. Special group plates may be personalized by the
22	22	person to whom the plates are issued.
23	23	Under current law, DOT collects a registration fee for initial and renewal
24	24	registrations of most motor vehicles. In addition to the regular registration fee, DOT
25	25	charges an annual fee of $15 for the issuance or reissuance of most special
26	26	registration plates and an additional annual fee of $15 for the issuance,
27	27	maintenance, or reissuance of most personalized plates.
28	28	Under current law, gold star special registration plate holders must pay the
29	29	general registration fee, but are not assessed the special registration fee. If the plate
30	30	holder personalizes the plate, he or she is assessed the $15 personalization fee. The
31	31	bill exempts special group plates for gold star families from the personalization fee.
