(a) Any person required to register a vehicle in Wyoming pursuant to this article may apply to the department or county treasurer for a statement of eligibility for search and rescue license plates for any motor vehicle that is not a commercial vehicle owned or leased by that person upon registration of the vehicle. The department or county treasurer may include as part of the application the option for the applicant to donate an additional amount in support of search and rescue activities. Upon payment by the applicant of a fee of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) to the department or county treasurer, plus any additional voluntary amount, the department or county treasurer shall issue a written statement of eligibility for search and rescue license plates. The department or county treasurer shall assess an annual fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) for a person to retain eligibility for search and rescue license plates, but this annual fee shall not be charged in the year the person pays the one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) eligibility fee. The person may submit an additional voluntary amount in support of search and rescue activities when remitting the annual fee. (b) The fees collected under subsection (a) of this section shall be payable to the department or county treasurer and shall be accounted for separately. Except as otherwise provided by law, the fees collected under subsection (a) of this section shall be distributed to the search and rescue account within the department of homeland security as created in W.S.
