Bill > S00480

This bill eliminates additional one-time service charges of ten dollars for special license plates issued to veterans and veterans organizations across multiple sections of New York's Vehicle and Traffic Law. Currently, veterans seeking special license plates must pay the regular registration fee plus an extra $10 service charge, but this legislation would remove that supplemental fee, making these specialized plates more affordable for veterans. The bill amends several sections of law related to different types of veteran-specific license plates, ensuring that veterans will only need to pay the standard registration fee when obtaining these plates. By removing the extra fee, the legislation aims to reduce the financial burden on veterans who wish to display license plates that recognize their military service. The changes will take effect on the first day of April following the bill becoming law, providing a straightforward and direct benefit to veterans in New York state who want to obtain special license plates.
