Upon annual application and payment of a twenty-five dollar emblem-use contribution to Missouri DeMolay, the organization shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the member to the department of revenue at the time of registration of a motor vehicle. Upon presentation of the annual statement and payment of the fee required for personalized license plates in section 301.144, and other fees and documents which may be required by law, the department of revenue shall issue a personalized license plate, which shall bear the emblem of the Missouri DeMolay, to the vehicle owner.

The bidding process used to select a vendor for the material to manufacture the license plates authorized by this section shall consider the aesthetic appearance of the plate.

A vehicle owner, who was previously issued a plate with the Missouri DeMolay emblem authorized by this section but who does not provide an emblem-use authorization statement at a subsequent time of registration, shall be issued a new plate which does not bear the Missouri DeMolay emblem, as otherwise provided by law. The director of revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the enforcement of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required by this section.
