Any person who is a resident of this state and is the owner of a special interest motor vehicle may
apply to the county treasurer of the applicant's county of residence for a special interest motor vehicle
license plate. The application shall be on a form prescribed by the secretary and is in addition to any
other forms required by this chapter. The applicant shall meet all of the requirements in section 4 of
this Act and pay any applicable fees in order to receive a special interest motor vehicle license plate.
For purposes of this Act, a special interest motor vehicle is a vehicle that is collected, preserved,
restored, or maintained by the owner as a leisure pursuit and is not used for general or commercial
transportation. The special interest motor vehicle license plate may be placed on any automobile,
pickup, truck, or van licensed pursuant to § 32-5-6 that qualifies as a special interest motor vehicle.
Section 2. That chapter 32-5 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
The special interest motor vehicle plate shall be issued in place of the regular plates issued
pursuant to § 32-5-85. The special interest motor vehicle plate shall be numbered and designed by
the secretary to be visibly distinct from regular noncommercial license plates. The special interest
motor vehicle plate shall be reflectorized and validated with a decal each year in the same manner
as noncommerical license plates. Notwithstanding the requirements of § 32-5-98, a vehicle for which
a special interest motor vehicle license plate is issued is not required to display a number plate on
the front of the vehicle. The special interest motor vehicle license plate shall be securely fastened
to the rear of the special interest motor vehicle in a horizontal and upright position.
Section 3. That chapter 32-5 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
In addition to the noncommercial annual registration fees, each applicant for a special interest
motor vehicle license plate shall pay an annual twenty-five dollar fee. All fees collected pursuant to
this section shall be credited to the license plate special revenue fund.
Section 4. That chapter 32-5 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
An application for a special interest motor vehicle license plate, as provided for in section 1 of
this Act, shall include a signed affidavit wherein the applicant attests to the following:
(1) The motor vehicle for which the special interest motor vehicle license plate is sought is
driven less than six thousand miles per year;
(2) The motor vehicle for which the special interest motor vehicle license plate is sought is
not used for general or commercial transportation, but rather for occasional transportation,
public displays, parades, and related pleasure or hobby activities; and
(3) The current reading on the odometer of the special interest motor vehicle.
The secretary may, at any time, require an applicant to provide additional information to
determine if the applicant meets the special interest motor vehicle license plate requirements.
An applicant shall annually, at the time of registration renewal, submit the current odometer
reading of the special interest motor vehicle. If an applicant fails to provide this information the
registration may not be renewed.
Section 5. That chapter 32-5 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
If an applicant misuses the special interest motor vehicle license plate by not adhering to the
special interest motor vehicle license plate requirements, that applicant shall surrender to the
department all special interest motor vehicle license plates in his or her possession and is not eligible
for a special interest motor vehicle plate for a period of three years.
Section 6. That § 32-5-67 be amended to read:
32-5-67. All fees received pursuant to §§ 32-5-42, 32-5-42.2, 32-5-65, 32-5-65.1, 32-5-159, and
32-5-160, and this Act shall be credited to a fund to be known as the license plate special revenue
fund. The special revenue fund shall be expended for the purchase of special plates required pursuant
to this chapter and the expenses of the office incident to the issuance thereof. Disbursements from
this fund shall be made by warrants drawn by the state auditor on vouchers duly approved by the
secretary. "
