   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is  amended  by  adding  a  new

 ICS.  1.  ANY  EMERGENCY  MEDICAL TECHNICIAN PARAMEDICS RESIDING IN THIS
 STATE SHALL, UPON REQUEST, BE ISSUED A LICENSE PLATE  BEARING  THE  WORD
 "PARAMEDIC".  APPLICATION FOR SAID LICENSE PLATE SHALL BE FILED WITH THE
 COMMISSIONER  IN  SUCH  FORM  AND  DETAIL  AS  THE  COMMISSIONER   SHALL
 PRESCRIBE.
   2. THE DISTINCTIVE PLATE AUTHORIZED HEREIN SHALL BE ISSUED UPON PROOF,
 SATISFACTORY  TO  THE  COMMISSIONER,  THAT THE APPLICANT IS AN EMERGENCY
 MEDICAL TECHNICIAN PARAMEDIC.
   3. A DISTINCTIVE PLATE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE ISSUED
 IN THE SAME MANNER AS OTHER NUMBER PLATES  UPON  PAYMENT  OF  THE  SIXTY
 DOLLAR  REGISTRATION  FEE,  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THAT  NO ANNUAL SERVICE
 CHARGE SHALL BE CHARGED FOR SUCH PLATE.
   § 2. Distinctive plates issued prior to the effective date of this act
 bearing the word "paramedic" shall be considered  to  have  been  issued
 under  section 404-ff of the vehicle and traffic law and all such plates
 issued after the effective date of this act shall  be  issued  with  the
 same  issuance  requirements, fees and service charges as a plate issued
 under such section.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
