Upon presentation of the annual statement, payment of a fifteen dollar fee in addition to the regular registration fees and presentation of documents required by law, the department of revenue shall issue a license plate to the member, which shall bear the emblem of the Missouri Coroners' and Medical Examiners' Association, the six-point star which is the universally recognized symbol for law enforcement, and the words "CORONERS' OFFICE" in place of the words "SHOW-ME STATE". The director of revenue shall annually set aside personalized license plates bearing each member's designated number to be issued to each member of the Missouri Coroners' and Medical Examiners' Association who meets all requirements established by this section. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 301.144, no additional fee shall be charged for the personalization of license plates issued pursuant to this section.
