Bill > A00132

This bill authorizes the creation of a distinctive license plate for members of fire police and their spouses. Under the proposed legislation, any fire police member or their spouse can request a special license plate that bears the words "Fire Police" upon application to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The applicant must provide proof of their fire police membership, and only one distinctive plate can be issued per household (meaning if a fire police member receives the plate, their spouse cannot also receive one). The plate will be issued in the same manner as standard license plates, with the regular registration fee plus an additional one-time service charge of ten dollars. Importantly, the bill includes a provision that these special plates will only be produced if the anticipated service charges are sufficient to cover the design and manufacturing costs. The bill will take effect on the first of April following its passage into law, providing a clear timeline for implementation of this new license plate option.
