department.

(4) A person may apply for a CASA license plate if the person pays the taxes
and fees required by this section.

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.
