1. The director shall develop an organization number plate program for distinctive number plates for qualifying public and for nonprofit organizations recognized by the internal revenue service as tax exempt under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). When appropriate, the department shall design a distinctive number plate to minimize the changes to a single application of overlay on the left side of the number plate. The organization may submit a design for the distinctive number plate for approval by the director. Upon approval by the director and proper application with proof of a minimum of fifty applicants and a one -time payment of one thousand five hundred dollars for a certain organization's number plate, the director shall include the number plate in the organization number plate program. 2. The following organizations do not qualify for an organization number plate: out-of-state colleges and universities; groups within high schools, junior colleges, universities, and technical schools, including individual boosters, athletic boosters, and similar groups; unions; political organizations; religious organizations; groups that promote racial or social disharmony; and public offices. 3. Upon proper application for a plate in the organization number plate program and payment of all other fees required under this chapter for registration of the motor vehicle and payment of an additional annual fee of twenty -five dollars, a qualified applicant is entitled to issuance of a certain organization number plate. However, the director may not issue the plates to the owner of a passenger motor vehicle or a truck the registered gross weight of which exceeds twenty thousand pounds [9071.85 kilograms]. 4. The director shall deposit ten dollars of the additional organization number plate fee in the highway tax distribution fund and transfer monthly fifteen dollars to the proper organization to support programs of that organization.
