"§249-   Special number plates; civil air patrol. (a) In lieu of the number plates contracted on behalf of the counties by the director of finance of the city and county of Honolulu, the director of finance shall provide, for a fee, one set of special number plates upon the receipt of an application together with specific proof that the applicant was or is a member of the Hawaii civil air patrol.

(b) The design of the plates for former and current Hawaii civil air patrol shall include the words "HAWAII CIVIL AIR PATROL". This designation shall be imprinted on the left side of the license plates in a manner similar to congressional and honorary consul license plates.
