Any member of the Kingdom of Calontir may receive special license plates as prescribed by this section, 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 twenty-four thousand pounds gross weight, after an annual payment of an emblem-use authorization fee to the Kingdom of Calontir, a subdivision of the Society for Creative Anachronism, of which the person is a member. The Kingdom of Calontir hereby authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear personalized license plates as provided in this section.

Upon annual application and payment of a twenty-five dollar emblem-use contribution to the Kingdom of Calontir, the organization shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the owner to the department of revenue at the time of registration of a motor vehicle. Upon presentation of the annual statement, payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the registration fee and documents which may be required by law, the department of revenue shall issue to the vehicle owner a personalized license plate which shall bear the emblem of the Kingdom of Calontir and shall bear the words "KINGDOM OF CALONTIR" in place of the words "SHOW-ME STATE". 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.144, no additional fee shall be charged for the personalization of license plates pursuant to this section.

The director of revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the administration of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required by this section.
