BILL NUMBER:S2966A

Title of bill

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to distinctive plates for medal of honor recipients

Purpose of the 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, upon such person's request, at no fee or service charge. For those not wishing to receive a new corrected license plate, the "Congressional Medal of Honor" distinctive license plate issued prior to the effective date shall still be valid.

Section 3 provides the effective date.

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," ad 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.
