BILL NUMBER:A9378
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to establishing distinctive "Pink Ribbon" plates; and to amend the state finance law, in relation to establishing the "breast cancer education and support fund"
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill will establish a distinctive "Pink Ribbon" license plate and provides that the service charge for these plates will go to the breast cancer education and support fund for breast cancer education and support.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one amends the vehicle and traf- fic law to allow New York State residents to request a "Pink Ribbon" license plate which will have an additional service charge of twenty- five dollars. This additional charge will go to the department of motor vehicles to offset the cost of said plates, and any additional charges collected in excess of six thousand dollars shall be deposited to the credit of the breast cancer education and support fund.
Section two creates a special fund to be known as the "breast cancer education and support fund." This fund will be established in the joint custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance and the comptroller.
Justification
In 2009, an estimated 183,506 new cases of invasive and 69,750 new cases of noninvasive breast cancer are expected to be diag- nosed in women in the United States. The incidence in women of breast cancer is about thirteen percent. In New York State between 119.5 and 122.9 out of 100,000 women develop or die from breast cancer each year (2005 latest data available from CDC). However, there is hope. As of 2008 there are about 2.5 million women in the United States that have survived breast cancer. This is due to dedicated doctors, professionals, patients, and contributors that continue to aide in the fight to end the plague of cancer on our society. This legislation will allow the resi- dents of New York to give support to those who are suffering from cancer.
