MAY BE ISSUED FOR EVERY VEHICLE REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE GOLD  STAR

PLATE SHALL BE FILED WITH THE COMMISSIONER IN SUCH FORM  AND  DETAIL  AS
THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PRESCRIBE.
  2.  THE DISTINCTIVE PLATE AUTHORIZED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE
ISSUED UPON PROOF, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMMISSIONER, THAT THE  APPLICANT
IS A GOLD STAR WIFE.
  3. A DISTINCTIVE PLATE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE ISSUED
IN  THE  SAME  MANNER AS OTHER NUMBER PLATES UPON PAYMENT OF THE REGULAR

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO SERVICE CHARGE  SHALL  BE  CHARGED  FOR  SUCH
PLATE.
  S  2.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law; provided, however, that  effective  immediately,  the
addition,  amendment  and/or  repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
for the implementation of this act on its effective date  is  authorized
and directed to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
