is a non-resident and an official or employee of the Coordination Council for
North American Affairs as recognized in the Taiwan Relation Act, Public Law

or employee, the registration plates and card issued to such persons shall
terminate and the owner shall remove such plates from the vehicle so
registered and return them and the registration card to the Secretary of
State. Such plates may not be transferred to any other person by the
holder or owner.
