Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the service charge for distinctive plates for members of volunteer ambulance services
Purpose of bill
Recognizes the substantial positive impact that volunteer ambulance service members have on their communities.
Summary of provisions
Section one sets out that there shall only be a one-time service charge of fifteen dollars for distinctive plates issued to members of volunteer ambulance services.
Justification
Currently volunteer fire fighters pay a $15 one-time fee to receive distinctive license plates. This legislation would add emergency ambulance workers and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) persons to those who receive distinctive plates with no annual charge.
Legislative history
New bill.
Fiscal implications
Since it is likely that more volunteer ambulance service members will purchase distinctive plates due to the one-time only fee, there should be no decrease in revenue to the state.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become a law.
