   Section  1.  The  vehicle  and  traffic law is amended by adding a new

 TATION WITH THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
   2. AN APPLICATION FOR SUCH PLATE SHALL BE FILED WITH THE  COMMISSIONER
 IN SUCH FORM AND DETAIL AS THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PRESCRIBE.

 IN  THE  SAME  MANNER AS OTHER NUMBER PLATES UPON PAYMENT OF THE REGULAR

 AND  AN  INITIAL ONE TIME SERVICE CHARGE OF TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS SHALL BE

   § 2. 1. A distinctive plate established pursuant to section 404-ff  of

 ment of a surety bond in the amount of six thousand dollars, which shall

 cial services to transact business in  this  state.  Provided,  however,

 such  distinctive  plate  together  with  the  additional annual service
 charge applicable to each such order, which shall be non-refundable,  no
 such  surety  bond shall be required.  All such service charges shall be
