BILL NUMBER:A10800
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to eliminating the registration fee for gold star mother distinctive license plates
Purpose
To eliminate the registration fee for Gold Star Mother license plates.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends subdivision 3 of section 404-1 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law,, to eliminate the regis- tration fee for Gold Star Mother License plates.
Section 2 contains effective date.
Justification
New Yorkers have a proud history of responding to the call to serve in our nations Armed Forces. Our nation is currently engaged in the longest war of its history, fighting entirely with an all-volunteer military.
When the nation calls these warriors to difficult and dangerous places, our service men and women answer that call knowing that what they do protects those that they've left behind. The sacrifices made in defense of our nation are not only that of these brave warriors, but also that of the families who will not get to watch these men and women enjoy the fruits of their labor. The mothers of those who have died for our free- dom deserve every effort we can possibly make on their behalf. By elimi- nating the registration fee for the gold star mother license plate, we make it less of-a burden for the mothers of the fallen to honor their loves ones. We also give these families an opportunity to remind every- one that drives and rides on New York's streets and highways that members of their communities have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
