AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the issuance
of special number plates
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 404 of the vehicle and traffic
law, as amended by section 21 of part G of chapter 59 of the laws of
2009, is amended to read as follows:
1. The commissioner may issue special number plates to applicants
therefor in the same manner as other number plates are issued pursuant
to this article. Such special number plates shall be issued only upon
payment of an annual service charge of thirty-one dollars and twenty-
five cents in addition to the regular fee prescribed by section four
hundred one of this article. Application for special number plates shall
be made in accordance with regulations promulgated by the commissioner
with respect to issuance of such number plates. Provided, however, in
lieu of the annual fee specified herein, the commissioner may establish
specific categories of plates for which an annual fee of not less than
eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents nor more than thirty-one dollars
and twenty-five cents may be charged subject to the approval of the
director of the division of the budget. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, THE ANNUAL SERVICE CHARGE SHALL NOT APPLY TO
THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL NUMBER PLATES TO VETERANS OF THE ARMED FORCES
WHO SERVED IN WORLD WAR II. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of this section, the difference collected between the special plates fee
or service charge set forth in this subdivision in effect on and after
September first, two thousand nine and the special plates fee or service
charge set forth in this subdivision in effect prior to such date shall
be deposited to the credit of the dedicated highway and bridge trust
fund.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
