The plate must be issued or revalidated biennially for the regular registration and licensing period. The fee for the issuance of this special plate must be the regular motor vehicle registration fee set forth in Article 5, Chapter 3 of this title which must be deposited in the state general fund and the special fee required by Section 56-3-2020 which must be deposited with the Department of Revenue. 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."

If a holder of such a the plate ceases to be a mayor, member of the municipal or county council, or ceases to be county coroner, he shall immediately return immediately the plate to the department."
