Bill > A06172

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to eliminate the annual service charge specifically for special number plates issued to veterans of the armed forces. Currently, special number plates require an annual service charge of $31.25 in addition to regular registration fees, but under this proposed legislation, veterans would be exempt from paying this annual charge when obtaining special license plates. The bill simplifies the process for veterans by removing the financial burden of the annual service fee, making it easier and more affordable for veterans to obtain special recognition license plates that identify their military service. The change would take effect immediately upon becoming law, providing an immediate benefit to veterans seeking to display their military service on their vehicle registration.
