Section 56-3-6920. The department may issue special motor vehicle license plates to members of the Marine Corps League for private motor vehicles registered in their names. Only one plate may be issued to a person.

The department must receive at least three hundred applications requesting a Marine Corps League special license plate before the special license plate may be issued. Every five years the department shall assess the cost of production, administration, and issuance of this plate and provide this information to the General Assembly.

Section 56-3-6930. The special license plate must be of the same size and general design of regular motor vehicle license plates, upon which must be imprinted the Marine Corps League seal, the words 'Once a Marine, Always a Marine', and numbers the department may determine necessary."
