Bill > S09308

This bill authorizes the creation of a distinctive "North Country Honor Flight" license plate for vehicles in New York State, allowing residents to request these special plates. When applying for these plates, individuals will pay the standard registration fee plus an additional annual service charge of twenty-five dollars. A portion of these additional charges will go towards the production and promotion of distinctive license plates, while any amounts exceeding six thousand dollars will be deposited into a newly established "North Country Honor Flight fund." This fund, overseen by the commissioner of taxation and finance and the comptroller, will be used to support the North Country Honor Flight program, which is a program that helps transport veterans to visit memorials. The bill also includes provisions for a surety bond to be provided by the plate designer and manufacturer, which can be waived if a sufficient number of pre-orders are received, and outlines how the fund's money will be disbursed.
