On page 6, after line 12, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature recognizes that the creation of any license plate which may affect the treatment received by citizens of this state by law enforcement should be studied before being implemented. Special license plates will likely cost an extra thirty to forty dollars per year which may be an amount that many citizens of this state cannot afford to pay. If the display of a professional firefighter license plates would result in more favorable treatment from law enforcement personnel, persons who could not afford to pay the extra amount every year would be placed at an unfair disadvantage.

(2) The legislative transportation committee shall conduct the research necessary to report to the legislature on the possible effects that the display of certain types of special license plates would have on the treatment received by law enforcement officers. The report shall be submitted to the transportation committees of the legislature by December 1, 2004."
