The fee for this special license plate is seventy dollars every two years in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fee in Article 5, Chapter 3 of this title. This special license plate must be the same size and general design as regular motor vehicle license plates. The special license plates must be issued or revalidated for a biennial period which expires twenty-four months from the month they are issued.
