Bill > S08571

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to expand eligibility for special license plates for individuals with disabilities. Specifically, it adds a new category for those rated one hundred percent disabled by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, meaning veterans who have been certified by the VA as having a total and permanent disability. This provision aims to provide these severely disabled veterans with the same benefits and recognition as other individuals with qualifying physical or mental impairments that make using public transportation difficult, or those who are blind, by allowing them to obtain special license plates. The act will become law 180 days after its enactment.
