Bill > A04982

This bill eliminates additional application fees and annual fees for special license plates issued to veterans of the United States armed forces. Specifically, the bill removes the previous requirement for veterans to pay a one-time $10 service charge when applying for special veteran license plates, in addition to the regular registration fee. The changes apply to multiple sections of the vehicle and traffic law, including provisions for various types of special veteran license plates. Veterans will now only need to pay the standard registration fee and continue to submit proof of membership in a veterans organization for annual verification. This change aims to reduce the financial burden on veterans seeking specialized license plates that recognize their military service, making it more affordable and accessible for veterans to obtain these distinctive license plates. The bill will take effect on the first day of April following its passage into law.
