The Civil Air Patrol 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 fifteen dollar emblem-use contribution to the Civil Air Patrol, the Civil Air Patrol shall issue to the person, 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 Civil Air Patrol in the left hand section of such license plate and the words “CIVIL AIR PATROL” in place of the words “SHOW-ME STATE” to the person. The emblem, seal or logo shall be reproduced on the license plate in as a clear and defined manner as possible. If the emblem, seal or logo is unacceptable to the Civil Air Patrol, it shall be the Civil Air Patrol’s responsibility to furnish the artwork in a digitalized format. 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.
