1.  Any member of the Saint Louis Zoo, after an annual payment of an emblem-use authorization fee to the Saint Louis Zoo, may receive special license plates for any motor vehicle the member owns, either solely or jointly, other than an apportioned motor vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle licensed in excess of twenty-four thousand pounds gross weight.  The Saint Louis Zoo hereby authorizes the use of its official emblem to be affixed on multiyear personalized license plates as provided in this section.  Any contribution to the Saint Louis Zoo derived from this section, except reasonable administrative costs, shall be used solely for the purposes of the Saint Louis Zoo.  Any member of the Saint Louis Zoo may annually apply for the use of the emblem.

2.  Upon annual application and payment of a thirty-five dollar emblem-use contribution to the Saint Louis Zoo, the Saint Louis Zoo shall issue to the vehicle owner, without further charge, an emblem-use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the vehicle owner to the director of revenue at the time of registration.  Upon presentation of the annual statement and payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the regular registration fees, and presentation of any documents which may be required by law, the director of revenue shall issue to the vehicle owner a special license plate which shall bear the emblem of the Saint Louis Zoo.  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 .  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.144 , no additional fee shall be charged for the personalization of license plates issued pursuant to this section.

3.  A vehicle owner who was previously issued a plate with the Saint Louis Zoo's emblem authorized by this section, but who does not provide an emblem-use authorization statement at a subsequent time of registration, shall be issued a new plate which does not bear the Saint Louis Zoo's emblem, as otherwise provided by law.  The director of revenue shall make necessary rules and regulations for the enforcement of this section, and shall design all necessary forms required by this section.
