Bill > S09405

This bill authorizes the issuance of distinctive license plates for medical technologists in New York. The key provisions are: 1. Medical technologists can request a license plate that displays the "New York State" emblem on the top and "Medical Technologist" on the bottom. Applicants must provide proof that they are currently a medical technologist. 2. The distinctive plate will be issued upon payment of the regular registration fee plus an additional $15 annual service charge. The service charges will be deposited into a fund to cover the design, production, advertising, and distribution of the plates. 3. The Department of Motor Vehicles can require a $6,000 surety bond before designing, producing, and issuing the plates, unless they receive at least 200 pre-orders with the additional service charge. If fewer than 200 plates are sold within two years, the bond can be used to recover the shortfall.
