Bill > S05657

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to create a distinctive license plate for veterans honoring the Borinqueneers, a Puerto Rican infantry regiment that served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. The bill defines "veteran" as a person who is a resident of New York, served in the U.S. armed forces, and was honorably discharged or has a qualifying condition and received a discharge other than bad conduct or dishonorable, or is a discharged LGBT veteran. The distinctive plate will have an additional one-time service charge of $25 and can only be issued if the aggregate amount of annual service charges will cover the design and manufacturing costs. The bill also sets requirements for a surety bond or a minimum of 200 pre-orders before the plates can be designed, produced, and issued.
