(1) Applications for registration of motor vehicles leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, or board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated <br>by nonprofit corporations organized by units of government in the state or by the <br>state or federal government shall be accompanied by a statement from the head of <br>the department of the governmental unit that leases or owns the motor vehicle, <br>certifying that the motor vehicle is leased or owned and operated by the <br>governmental unit. The application and statement shall be forwarded by the county <br>clerk to the cabinet, which shall give special authority to the clerk to register it. <br>Upon receiving that authority, the clerk shall issue a registration receipt and the <br>official number plate described in KRS 186.240(1)(c), and report the registration to <br>the head of the department authorizing the registration. For his services in issuing <br>such certificate of registration and number plate and reporting the same, the county <br>clerk shall be entitled to a fee of three dollars (&#36;3) in each instance, to be paid by the <br>department upon whose authorization such license was issued.

In the event of loss or destruction, the number plate shall be <br>replaced in the same manner as if no plate had ever been issued. (3) When a motor vehicle leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, or board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated by nonprofit corporations <br>organized by units of government in the state, or by the state or federal government <br>is transferred or sold to another governmental unit, a new license plate shall be <br>issued for the vehicle in the same manner as provided for in subsection (1) of this <br>section and shall have the same effect as given to such license plates in subsection <br>(2) of this section. (4) No person shall use on a motor vehicle, not leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated <br>by nonprofit corporations organized by units of government in the state, or the state <br>or federal government, any license plate that has been issued for use on a motor <br>vehicle leased or owned by the governmental unit.
