Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing distinctive license plates for members of Kiwanis International
Purpose
Amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow for distinctive plates for Kiwanis members.
Summary of provisions
Adds a new Section 404-v to authorize distinctive license plates for members of Kiwanis International residing in New York State.
Justification
Kiwanis International, a world wide service organization, celebrated its 90th anniversary year in 2005. Kiwanis members in over 300 local clubs perform service projects ranging from fund raising to hands on work in every area of New York State. Additionally, Kiwanis clubs sponsor K-Kids Clubs in elementary schools, Builders Clubs in Middle Schools, Key Clubs in High Schools, Circle K Clubs at Colleges and Universities and Aktion Clubs for Challenged individuals, all providing service and leadership development opportunities to members of those communities.
These distinctive license plates would give Kiwanis members the opportunity to receive recognition for the good work they do, as well as promote the organization to other members of the community in which they live.
