A. On receipt of an application and payment of the fee prescribed by this section, and following the provisions of § 46.2-725 of the Code of Virginia other than those relating to the fee for the plates and its disposition, the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles shall issue to the applicant special license plates for members and supporters of the Virginia State Police Association, Emergency Relief Fund, Inc., bearing the legend TO BE MUTUALLY HELPFUL TO ONE ANOTHER.

B. The annual fee for plates issued pursuant to this section shall be $25 in addition to the prescribed fee for state license plates.

These funds shall be paid annually to the Virginia State Police Association, Emergency Relief Fund, Inc., and used to support its operations and programs providing financial relief to State Police officers and other public safety officials during times of need. All other fees imposed under the provisions of this section shall be paid to, and received by, the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles and paid by him into the state treasury and set aside as a special fund to be used to meet the necessary expenses incurred by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
