Modifies provisions relating to special personalized license plates
HB 2813 modifies rules for special personalized license plates in Missouri. It requires a one-time $50 fee for new or reissued plates (not annual renewals), sets design standards for visibility and aesthetics, and prohibits offensive content like racial slurs or obscenities on plates. The bill exempts military retirees (with 20+ years service and honorable discharge) from the fee and creates a special category for amateur radio license holders displaying FCC call letters. All applicants must follow standardized application procedures, and the director of revenue can recall problematic plates without charge if replaced with compliant designs. The changes directly affect vehicle owners seeking personalized plates while maintaining plate functionality for vehicle identification.
