Success!  Governor Jay Nixon has finally signed SB307 on July 8, 2011 that authorizes Missouri's "Don't Tread on Me" license plate along with some others (see announcement below.)
  The bill summary is provided below.

Missouri Senate votes to create 'Don't Tread on Me' license plate

The Missouri Senate voted overwhelmingly today to direct the state Department of Revenue to begin allowing motorist to purchase special license plates featuring the phrase "Don't Tread on Me."
The expression originally appeared on some early flags of the United States. But since 2009 it has been closely associated with the tea party movement. It was this meaning that caused state Sen. Tim Green, D-Spanish Lake, to vote against the measure, which passed on a 31-1 vote.
"The words 'Don't Tread on Me' bring with them a connotation of confrontation," Green said, adding that while he was voting against the measure he still hoped it passed due to the other special license plates it authorized, including one honoring those who received the military's Combat Action Badge. "But I just can't vote in favor because of the bad connotation with that phrase."
A different version of the bill that only included the "Don't Tread on Me" plates passed the House earlier this month on a 113-18 vote. The House would have to pass the new legislation for the plates to become available.
