60-3,104.01. Specialty license plates; application; fee; delivery; transfer; credit allowed; fee.

(1) Beginning January 1, 2010, a person may apply for specialty license plates in lieu of regular license plates on an application prescribed and provided by the department pursuant to section 60-3,104.02 for any motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer, except for motor vehicles or trailers registered under section 60-3,198. An applicant receiving a specialty license plate for a farm truck with a gross weight of over sixteen tons or for a commercial motor vehicle registered for a gross weight of five tons or over shall affix the appropriate tonnage decal to the plate. The department shall make forms available for such applications. Each application for initial issuance or renewal of specialty license plates shall be accompanied by a fee of seventy dollars. Fees collected pursuant to this subsection shall be remitted to the State Treasurer. The State Treasurer shall credit fifteen percent of the fee for initial issuance and renewal of specialty license plates to the Department of Motor Vehicles Cash Fund and eighty-five percent of the fee to the Highway Trust Fund.

(2) When the department receives an application for specialty license plates, it shall deliver the plates to the county treasurer or designated county official of the county in which the motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer is registered. The county treasurer or designated county official shall issue specialty license plates in lieu of regular license plates when the applicant complies with the other provisions of law for registration of the motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer. If specialty license plates are lost, stolen, or mutilated, the licensee shall be issued replacement license plates pursuant to section 60-3,157.

(3)(a) The owner of a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer bearing specialty license plates may make application to the county treasurer or designated county official to have such specialty license plates transferred to a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer other than the motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer for which such plates were originally purchased if such motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer is owned by the owner of the specialty license plates.

(b) The owner may have the unused portion of the specialty license plate fee credited to the other motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or cabin trailer which will bear the specialty license plates at the rate of eight and one-third percent per month for each full month left in the registration period.

(c) Application for such transfer shall be accompanied by a fee of three dollars. Fees collected pursuant to this subsection shall be remitted to the State Treasurer for credit to the Department of Motor Vehicles Cash Fund.
