Bill > A03270

This bill establishes a new distinctive license plate design honoring recipients of the Girl Scout Gold Award in New York State. The bill allows any state resident to request these special license plates, which will be designed in consultation with the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. To obtain the plate, applicants must pay the standard vehicle registration fee plus a one-time $25 service charge. Before the plates can be produced and issued, the Department of Motor Vehicles must either receive at least 200 pre-orders or obtain a $6,000 surety bond from an authorized surety company. If fewer than 200 plates are sold within two years of becoming available, the department can recover a proportional amount from the bond. Any service charges collected will be deposited into a special fund for developing and promoting distinctive license plates. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing immediate preparation of necessary regulations.
