   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-u of the vehicle  and  traffic
 law,  as added by chapter 415 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read as
 follows:
   1. Any person residing in this state shall upon request  be  issued  a
 distinctive  license plate bearing the words ["Life Pass It On"] "DONATE
 LIFE NEW YORK STATE" AND "BE AN ORGAN & TISSUE DONOR".  Application  for
 said  license  plates  shall be filed with the commissioner in such form
 and detail as the commissioner shall prescribe.
   § 2. Distinctive plates issued pursuant to section 404-u of the  vehi-
 cle  and  traffic  law  prior  to  the amendment of such section made by
 section one of this act shall be reissued to any  person  assigned  such
 plate  upon  such  person's  request.  No fee or service charge shall be
 charged for the  reissuance  of  such  plate.  Provided,  however,  that
 notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  section  one  of this act, nothing
 contained in this act shall be deemed to invalidate "Life  Pass  it  On"
 distinctive  license  plates  issued prior to the effective date of this
 act.
   § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 it shall have become a law; provided, however, that effective immediate-
 ly, 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.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
