1. Any federal, state, county or municipal law enforcement or public safety agency may request the issuance of special license plates and drivers licenses. Upon receipt of such a request, the director of revenue shall determine whether or not the special license plates and drivers licenses are to be used for a legitimate law enforcement or public safety purpose and if he so determines then the director of revenue shall issue the special license plates and drivers licenses subject to such conditions as he shall decide, in a form prescribed by the advisory committee established in section 301.129^*, except that 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. All decisions of the director of revenue relating to the special law enforcement or public safety license plates or drivers licenses shall be final.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, records pertaining to the request for, issuance of, retention of or disposal of special license plates and drivers licenses issued for law enforcement or public safety purposes as provided for in this section shall not be subject to public disclosure and shall be held by the department of revenue in such a way as to keep these records confidential.
