A 4824 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the spouses of certain volunteer firefighters to be issued a distinctive license plate for volunteer firefighters

This bill amends New York's vehicle and traffic law to allow spouses of volunteer firefighters to receive distinctive license plates featuring a Maltese cross and "V.F." (Volunteer Firefighter) designation. It directly affects the spouses of members of volunteer fire departments who currently qualify for these plates under existing law. The key change expands eligibility from firefighters alone to include their spouses, requiring annual verification by both the applicant and their spouse when applying. The bill does not create new benefits but modifies current plate issuance rules to include spouses.
