15 presented by the vehicle owner to the department of revenue at the
16 time of registration of a motor vehicle. Upon presentation of the

27 vendor for the material to manufacture the license plates authorized by
28 this section shall consider the aesthetic appearance of the plates.
29 4. A vehicle owner, who was previously issued plates with the
30 Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives' lineman emblem
31 authorized by this section but who does not provide an emblem-use
32 authorization statement at a subsequent time of registration, shall be
33 issued new plates which do not bear the Association of Missouri
34 Electric Cooperatives' lineman emblem, as otherwise provided by
35 law. The director of revenue shall make necessary rules and
36 regulations for the enforcement of this section, and shall design all
37 necessary forms required by this section.

2 plates as prescribed in this section after an annual payment of an
