Bill > A08911

This bill establishes a new distinctive license plate for the Adirondack Park, which any New York state resident can request from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Residents will need to submit an application to the commissioner and pay a regular registration fee plus a one-time $25 service charge for the special plate. Before the plates can be produced and issued, the department must either secure a $6,000 surety bond or receive at least 200 pre-orders with non-refundable service charges. The service charges will be deposited into a special fund for developing and distributing distinctive license plates. If fewer than 200 plates are sold within two years of becoming available, the department can recover a proportionate amount from the surety bond. The bill will take effect immediately, with the specific plate provisions becoming active 180 days after the law is passed, allowing time for design approval in consultation with the Department of Environmental Conservation and preparation for plate production.
