What's happening

This bill creates a special "Navy League of the United States" license plate for eligible New York members.

Why it matters

  1. Recognizes and honors Navy League members. By creating a special license plate, the bill publicly acknowledges the contributions of the Navy League and its members, potentially boosting morale and visibility for this civilian maritime support organization.

  2. Financial impact and cost recovery. The bill includes a $25 one-time service charge for the specialty plate and allocates up to $5,000 to the Department of Motor Vehicles to cover production costs, indicating careful consideration of state expenses and cost recovery.

  3. Eligibility and verification required. Only verified members of the Navy League residing in New York are eligible, ensuring that the plates are exclusive and maintain their intended significance rather than becoming a generic design option.

  4. State support for military-affiliated organizations. Passage would align New York with other states that offer distinctive plates for military-related groups, signaling state-level support for organizations that promote maritime and national security interests.

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to creating the "Navy League of the United States" distinctive license plate

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:

Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section 404-y to read as follows:

§ 404-y. Distinctive plates for members of the Navy League of the United States, Empire Region members. 1. Any member of the Navy League of the United States residing in this state shall, upon request, be issued a license plate bearing the Navy League of the United States emblem and the words "Navy League of the United States". Application for said license plate shall be filed with the commissioner in such form and detail as the commissioner shall prescribe.

2. The distinctive plate authorized in this section shall be issued upon proof, satisfactory to the commissioner, that the applicant is a member of the Navy League of the United States.

3. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued in the same manner as other number plates upon the payment of the regular registration fee prescribed by section four hundred one of this article, provided, however, that an additional one-time service charge of twenty-five dollars shall be charged for such plate. Provided, however, that one year after the effective date of this section funds in the amount of five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be available, shall be allocated to the department to offset costs associated with the production of such license plates.

§ 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law; provided, that any rules, regulations and actions necessary to implement the provisions of this act on its effective date are authorized and directed to be completed on or before such date.
