THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

Section 1. Section 404-v of the vehicle and traffic law, as added by
chapter 389 of the laws of 2004, is amended to read as follows:
S 404-v. Distinctive plates for the United States Naval Armed Guard.
1. Any honorably discharged member of the United States Naval Armed
Guard, OR THE SPOUSE, WIDOW, OR WIDOWER OF SUCH MEMBER, residing in this
state shall, upon request, be issued a license plate bearing the words
"United States Naval Armed Guard", or such other phrase as the commis-
sioner shall designate showing the registrant served in the United
States Naval Armed Guard. Application for such license 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 an honorably discharged veteran who served in the United States Naval
Armed Guard. IF A DISTINCTIVE LICENSE PLATE IS ISSUED TO A VETERAN

provided, however, that an additional one-time service charge of ten
dollars shall be charged for such plate. Provided, however, that one
year after the effective date of this section funds in the amount of
five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be available, shall be
allocated from such funds to the department to offset costs associated
with the production of such license plates.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
