If the contribution is made directly to the Martin Luther King, Jr. state celebration commission, the commission shall issue the individual making a contribution a receipt, verifying the contribution, that may be used to apply for the "DARE TO DREAM" license plate described in this section. If the contribution is made directly to the director of revenue, the director shall note the contribution and the owner may then apply for the "DARE TO DREAM" license plate.
