Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the issuance of distinctive plates for active duty members of the military

Purpose

To create distinctive plates for active duty members of the United States Military.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 - Adds section 404-x to the Vehicle and Traffic law to create a license plate bearing the words "active duty member of the U.S. Military". Application for such license plate shall be filed with the Commissioner in such form and detail as the Commissioner shall prescribe.

For purpose of this section, "active duty member of the United States Military" shall mean a person who is a resident of this state, who is currently serving military duty in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force or Coast Guard of the United States.

The distinctive plate shall be issued upon proof, satisfactory to the commissioner, that the applicant is an active duty member of the United State Military.

Section 2 - Effective Date

Justification

There are distinctive license plates for veterans and members of the reserve. Currently there are no distinctive plates for active duty members of the United State Military. The issuance of distinctive plates for these active duty members is one small way to recognize these members who are sacrificing their life everyday.
