(b) This section applies only to:

1. A private passenger vehicle; or

2. A truck with a 3/4-ton or less manufacturer’s rated capacity.

(c) Upon the initial application for a plate to be issued pursuant to this section, a 1-time administrative fee of $10 is required in addition to the annual registration fee required by this title. The additional fee is required for members of non- profit organizations even if the members are exempt from registration fees under § 2159 of this title. A replacement plate may be obtained upon payment of a fee set by the Division of Motor Vehicles to cover the cost of the plate.
