   Section 1. Paragraph a of subdivision 3 of section 401 of the  vehicle
 and  traffic law, as amended by section 1 of part H of chapter 59 of the
 laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   a. Upon filing of such application and the payment of the fee  herein-
 after  provided,  the  commissioner shall assign to such motor vehicle a
 distinctive number and, without expense  to  the  applicant,  issue  and
 deliver  in  such  manner  as the commissioner may select to the owner a
 certificate of registration, in such  form  as  the  commissioner  shall
 prescribe, and two number plates at a place within the state of New York
 named by the applicant in his or her application. A number plate, within
 the meaning of this chapter, may, in the discretion of the commissioner,
 be  a  plate  of a permanent nature, treated with reflectorized material
 according to specifications prescribed by the commissioner, and  with  a
 date tag attached to such plate or to the vehicle as prescribed by regu-
 lations  of the commissioner indicating the validity of the plate during
 a certain period and the issuance of such a number plate with such  date
 tag to a person possessing such a number plate shall be deemed the issu-
 ance  of  a  number plate. An additional fee, not to exceed [twenty-five
 dollars] THE ACTUAL COST OF MANUFACTURING A NUMBER PLATE, shall be  paid
 to  the  commissioner  whenever  a set of reflectorized number plates is
 issued for any vehicle for which a registration fee is normally  charged
 except  that,  with  respect  to  any number plate which is specifically
 requested by the applicant, such fee shall be paid to  the  commissioner
