shall issue special license plates to qualified applicants under this section for
motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, or noncommercial or recreational motor
vehicles that do not exceed sixteen thousand pounds empty weight.

(2) (a) There is hereby established the Colorado Rockies special license
plate. The department may stop issuing the Colorado Rockies special license plate
if a total of three thousand license plates are not issued by July 1, 2017. A person
who was issued a Colorado Rockies special license plate on or before July 1, 2017,
may continue to use the Colorado Rockies special license plate after July 1, 2017,
regardless of whether the department stops issuing the special license plate.

(b) The Colorado Rockies baseball club foundation may design the special
license plate if the plate conforms with standards established by the department.

(3) (a) A person may apply for a Colorado Rockies special license plate if the
person pays the taxes and fees required under this section and provides to the
department or an authorized agent a certificate, issued by the Colorado Rockies
baseball club foundation, or its successor organization, confirming that the
applicant has donated fifty-two dollars and eighty cents to the foundation.

(b) The Colorado Rockies baseball club foundation, or its successor
organization, shall file with the department an annual statement verifying that it is a
nonprofit organization.

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

(5) An applicant may apply for personalized Colorado Rockies special license
plates. Upon payment of the additional fee required by section 42-3-211 (6)(a) for
personalized license plates, the department may issue the plates if the applicant
complies with section 42-3-211. If an 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 Colorado Rockies special license plates for the vehicle
upon paying the fee required by section 42-3-211 (6)(a) and upon turning in the
existing plates to the department. A person who has obtained personalized
Colorado Rockies license plates under this subsection (5) shall pay the annual fee
imposed by section 42-3-211 (6)(b) for renewal of the personalized plates. The fees
under this subsection (5) are in addition to all other applicable taxes and fees.
