Missouri Revised Statutes Title VI. County, Township and Political Subdivision Government § 67.1813. Special taxicab license plate, application for, fee--revocation, effect of--rulemaking authority

1. Any such person required by the regional taxicab commission pursuant to section 67.1808 to obtain and display a special taxicab license plate shall make application for such license plates on a form prescribed by the director of revenue.

2. Upon application and payment of the same fee as required in section 301.144 in addition to the regular registration fees and documents as required by law the director of revenue shall issue special taxicab license plates that display the word “TAXICAB” in place of the words “SHOW-ME STATE”.

3. If the regional taxicab commission revokes the taxicab license authorizing the taxicab to be operated within the district, the licensee or owner shall immediately surrender the special taxicab license plates to the director of revenue and obtain new license plates as otherwise provided by law. If the licensee or owner fails to surrender the special taxicab license plates the regional taxicab commission has the authority to confiscate such plates and return them to the director of revenue.

4. The director of the department of revenue may promulgate rules and regulations for the administration of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is promulgated under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it has been promulgated pursuant to the provisions of chapter 536. All rulemaking authority delegated prior to August 28, 1999, is of no force and effect; however, nothing in this section shall be interpreted to repeal or affect the validity of any rule filed or adopted prior to August 28, 1999, if it fully complied with the provisions of chapter 536. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 1999, shall be invalid and void.
