Owners of motorcycles who are members of a Shrine motorcycle club, corps or unit of Mississippi may, in their discretion, purchase and use, in lieu of the motorcycle tag described in Section 27-19-35, an especially prepared tag of the same dimensions as the regular motorcycle tag. This distinctive tag shall be of a yellow background; the Shrine emblem in green coloring in the middle left of the tag; “Miss.” (abbreviated) in red letters in the lower left of the tag; the year of issuance in abbreviated form (the last two numbers) in red letters in the lower right of the tag; and the designated number of the particular tag in red numbers in the middle right of the tag. These tags shall be numbered commencing with the numeral “1.” These distinctive Shrine tags shall be ordered through the State Tax Commission by an official of each such Shrine club, corps or unit desiring same. Only one such distinctive tag shall be allowed to each individual member of any Shrine club, corps or unit and only for a heavy weight or heavy duty motorcycle. The individual Shrine members or Shrine club, corps or unit so ordering such tag or tags shall pay the regular motorcycle tag fees and taxes as designated by the tax collector’s office of the county in which the motorcycle is registered and such Shrine members, clubs, corps or units shall pay any additional charge necessary for the purchase of such distinctive tag. Each such distinctive Shrine tag will be duly recorded and registered at the office of the sheriff of the county in which the individual Shrine member resides.
