BILL NUMBER:S438A
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the issuance of distinctive plates for members of Kiwanis International
Purpose
Amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow for distinctive plates for Kiwanis members.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 will amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law will by adding section § 404-x, which reads:
Subdivision 1, any member of Kiwanis International residing within New York State, upon request, shall be issued a license plate bearing the words "Kiwanis International".
Subdivision 2, proof must be shown to the satisfaction of the commissioner that the applicant is a member of Kiwanis International.
Subdivision 3, provides for a fee.
Justification
Kiwanis International, a world-wide service organization, is celebrating its 100th anniversary year in 2015. Kiwanis members in over 300 local clubs perform service projects ranging from fund raising to hands on work in every area of New York State. Additionally, Kiwanis clubs sponsor K-Kids Clubs in elementary schools, Builders Clubs in Middle Schools, Key Clubs in High Schools, Circle K Clubs at Colleges and Universities and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities, all providing service and leadership development opportunities to members of those communities.
These distinctive license plates would give Kiwanis members the opportunity to receive recognition for the good work they do, as well as promote the organization to other members of the community in which they live.
