The license <br>plate or renewal decal may be issued for a passenger car as set forth in KRS <br>186.050(1) or for a commercial vehicle as set forth in KRS 186.050(3)(a).

The cabinet shall not <br>charge any fee, other than the regular fee for annual registration, for the issuance of <br>the registration plate or renewal decal. (2) The application for a license plate for an agency or organization which transports persons with a disability shall be made on a form prepared by the Transportation <br>Cabinet. For every agency or organization seeking an accessible parking license <br>plate, the application shall contain at least the following: <br>(a) Name of the agency or organization requesting use of an accessible parking placard for a person with a disability; (b) Number of vehicles being used in the transportation of persons with a disability; and (c) A statement from the director of the agency or organization verifying the need for the parking placard.

The clerk shall issue a regular <br>license plate and certificate of registration upon the payment of an eleven dollar <br>fifty cent (&#36;11.50) state fee and a three dollar (&#36;3) clerk's fee. When the accessible <br>parking plate has been presented to the clerk, he shall reissue the plate free of <br>charge by the Transportation Cabinet and upon payment of a two dollar (&#36;2) clerk's <br>fee, for use on any other vehicle owned or leased by the same agency or <br>organization who purchased the accessible parking plate for the current licensing <br>period. The license plate and decal on the other vehicle shall be turned into the <br>county clerk, who shall forward the license plate to Frankfort. (4) When a motor vehicle bearing plates issued to an agency or organization which transports persons with a disability as prescribed in this section is being operated for <br>the benefit of a person with a disability who is in the motor vehicle at the time it is <br>being operated, the motor vehicle may be parked for a period of two (2) hours in <br>excess of the legal parking period permitted by local authorities, except where local <br>ordinances or police regulations prohibit parking on a highway for the purpose of <br>creating a fire lane or where the ordinances or police regulations provide for the accommodation of heavy traffic during morning, afternoon, or evening hours or <br>where the motor vehicle is parked in such a manner as to clearly be a traffic hazard.
