BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
    Section 1.  Section 321.34, Code 2003, is amended by adding the following new subsection:
   NEW SUBSECTION  23.  BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PLATES.  
   a.  Upon application and payment of the proper fees, the
director may issue breast cancer awareness plates to an owner
of a motor vehicle referred to in subsection 12.
   b.  Breast cancer awareness plates shall contain an image
of a pink ribbon and shall be designed by the department in
consultation with the Susan G. Komen foundation.
   c.  The special fee for letter number designated breast
cancer awareness plates is thirty-five dollars. The fee for
personalized breast cancer awareness plates is twenty-five
dollars, which shall be paid in addition to the special breast
cancer awareness fee of thirty-five dollars. The fees
collected by the director under this subsection shall be paid
monthly to the treasurer of state and credited to the road use
tax fund. Notwithstanding section 423.24, and prior to the
crediting of revenues to the road use tax fund under section
423.24, subsection 1, paragraph "b", the treasurer of state
shall transfer monthly from those revenues to the Iowa
department of public health the amount of the special fees
collected in the previous month for the breast cancer
awareness plates and such funds are appropriated to the Iowa
department of public health. The Iowa department of public
health shall distribute one hundred percent of the funds
received monthly in the form of grants to support breast
cancer screenings for both men and women who meet eligibility
requirements like those established by the Susan G. Komen
foundation. In the awarding of grants, the Iowa department of
public health shall give first consideration to affiliates of
the Susan G. Komen foundation and similar nonprofit
organizations providing for breast cancer screenings at no
cost in Iowa. Notwithstanding section 8.33, moneys
transferred under this subsection shall not revert to the
general fund of the state.
   d.  Upon receipt of the special registration plates, the
applicant shall surrender the current registration receipt and
plates to the county treasurer. The county treasurer shall
validate the special registration plates in the same manner as
regular registration plates are validated under this section.
The annual special breast cancer awareness fee for letter
number designated plates is ten dollars, which shall be paid
in addition to the regular annual registration fee. The
annual special fee for personalized breast cancer awareness
plates is five dollars, which shall be paid in addition to the
annual special breast cancer awareness fee and the regular
annual registration fee. The annual special breast cancer
awareness fee shall be credited and transferred as provided
under paragraph "c".
