BILL NUMBER:S3009
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to distinctive plates for medal of honor recipients
Purpose or general idea of bill
Corrects an error on distinctive plates for medal of honor recipients.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends section 404-p of the vehicle and traffic law to provide for distinctive plates for medal of honor recipients.
Section 2 provides for the reissuance of distinctive plates provided under section 404-p of the vehicle and traffic law at no fee or service charge.
Justification
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles issues distinctive plates to New York State residents upon request, including a plate bearing the words "Congressional Medal of Honor." The proper name for this prestigious award, however, is the "Medal of Honor," as indicated by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. This legislation would correct this error and provide for the reissuance of this distinctive plate at no fee or service charge.
