(2) The department shall work with interested parties to design the breast
cancer awareness special license plate. The design for the special license plate
shall conform with standards established by the department.

(3) (a) A person may apply for a breast cancer awareness special license
plate if the person pays the taxes and fees required under this section.

(b) The amount of the taxes and fees for special license plates issued under
this section is the same as the amount of the taxes and fees specified for regular
motor vehicle license plates; except that the department shall collect a one-time
fee of twenty-five dollars for issuing or replacing each such special license plate.
The department shall transmit the additional one-time fee to the state treasurer,
who shall credit the same to the highway users tax fund for allocation and
expenditure as specified in section 43-4-201, C.R.S.

(c) In addition to the taxes and fees specified in paragraph (b) of this

awareness special license plate shall pay a surcharge of twenty-five dollars. A
person applying on or before June 30, 2012, to renew a breast cancer awareness
special license plate shall have the option to pay the twenty-five dollar surcharge
but shall not be required to pay the surcharge in order to renew the special plate.
On or after July 1, 2012, a person applying to renew a breast cancer awareness
special license plate shall pay the twenty-five dollar surcharge required by this

(4) Any renewal of a special license plate issued under this section shall be

plates. If the applicant complies with the requirements of section 42-3-211, the
department may issue such plates upon payment of the additional fee required by
section 42-3-211 (6) for personalized license plates. If the applicant has existing
personalized license plates for a motor vehicle, the applicant may transfer the
combination of letters or numbers to a new set of breast cancer awareness special
license plates for the vehicle upon paying the fee imposed by section 42-3-211 (6)
and upon turning in such existing plates to the department. A person who has
obtained personalized license plates under this subsection (5) shall pay the annual
fee imposed by section 42-3-211 (6) to renew such plates. The fees imposed by this
subsection (5) shall be in addition to all other taxes and fees imposed for breast
