BILL NUMBER:S4155
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to creating the "September eleventh, two thousand one remembrance" distinctive license plate program
Purpose
This bill would commemorate all the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by authorizing the issuance of distinctive commemorative license plates. Portions of the collected charges would be used for the purpose of providing scholarship money for the families of September eleventh victims.
Summary of provisions
§ 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section 404-x, which provides for the request and subsequent issuance of a "September eleventh, two thousand one remembrance" distinctive license plate.
Subdivision 2 provides that an annual service change of twenty five dollars shall apply to such plates. Twenty dollars of this annual sum shall be deposited to the credit of the World Trade Center Memorial Scholarship Program established under section 608 of the Education Law.
Justification
On September 11, 2001, our nation and, in particular our state, experienced an unforgettable tragedy. Over 6,000 New Yorkers lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. This bill recognizes and commemorates of all those affected by the attacks on the World Trade Center by authorizing the issuance of distinctive commemorative license plates, and by directing that portions of the collected charges be deposited into the World Trade Center Memorial Scholarship Program established in 2002. The families of those who tragically lost their lives because of that infamous day can take some comfort in knowing that no one has forgotten, with an additional modicum of assuagement in knowing that their children will have scholarship funds set aside for college tuition.
