Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to issuance of distinctive plates for Catholic War Veterans of America
Purpose or general idea of bill
Provides for issuance of distinctive plates to "Catholic War Veterans of America."
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Amends the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new section 404-aa issuing a distinctive license plate to members of the Catholic War Veterans of America with the words "Catholic War Veterans of America". The commissioner shall review each application and authorize the distinct license plates. Additionally, a one-time service charge of ten dollars shall be charged for each plate.
Section 2. Effective date.
Justification
First incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1935, Catholic War Veterans of the United States of America has been recognized by the Veterans Administration since 1940. Their mission is one of service and education; they strive to help veterans and their families, and to help promote national awareness of the unique problems and needs of many veterans and their surviving family members. Catholic War Veterans are justifiably proud of their participation in combat and should have the opportunity, like countless others who have served our country, to demonstrate that pride. Many other veterans' organizations are currently recognized with their own distinctive plates. These include: American Legion, Jewish War Veterans of America, Korean War Veterans, Marine Corps Reserve, Marine Corps League, Navy Reserve, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans, and Veterans of World War II. The issuance of distinctive license plates is a small but important way to recognize the contributions of the Catholic War Veterans in conflicts large and small, as well as their service to their fellow veterans in war and peace.
