  S 404-X. DISTINCTIVE PLATES FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE CHIEFS. 1. ANY CHIEF OF
ANY  VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT OR COMPANY IN THIS STATE OR THE SPOUSE OF
ANY SUCH CHIEF SHALL, UPON REQUEST, BE ISSUED A LICENSE PLATE BEARING  A
MALTESE  CROSS  AND  THE  WORDS "VOLUNTEER FIRE CHIEF". IF A DISTINCTIVE
PLATE IS ISSUED TO ANY SUCH CHIEF  PURSUANT  TO  THIS  SECTION,  SUCH  A
DISTINCTIVE  PLATE  SHALL  NOT  BE  ISSUED  TO THE SPOUSE OF SUCH CHIEF.
APPLICATION FOR SUCH LICENSE PLATE SHALL BE FILED WITH THE  COMMISSIONER
IN  SUCH  FORM AND DETAIL AS THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PRESCRIBE, AND SHALL
BE VERIFIED ANNUALLY BY THE APPLICANT.
  2. THE DISTINCTIVE PLATE AUTHORIZED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION
SHALL BE ISSUED UPON PROOF, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMMISSIONER,  THAT  THE
APPLICANT OR THE SPOUSE OF THE APPLICANT IS PRESENTLY AN ACTIVE CHIEF OF
A VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT OR COMPANY.
  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
REGISTRATION FEE PRESCRIBED BY SECTION FOUR HUNDRED ONE OF THIS  ARTICLE
AND AN INITIAL ONE TIME SERVICE CHARGE OF FIFTEEN DOLLARS.
  4.  NOTHING  CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION SHALL REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OF A
SPECIAL NUMBER PLATE UNDER  THIS  SECTION  UNLESS  THE  COMMISSIONER  IS
SATISFIED  THAT THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ANNUAL SERVICE CHARGES COLLECTED
PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION  SHALL  BE  SUFFICIENT  TO
RECOVER THE COSTS OF THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF SUCH SPECIAL PLATES.
  S  2. This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding
the date on which it shall have become a law.
