Discontinues service fees for distinctive license plates issued to veterans
This bill eliminates a $10 one-time service fee for veterans who obtain distinctive license plates in New York. It modifies several sections of the vehicle and traffic law to remove the charge that was previously required when applying for these plates. The change affects veterans purchasing plates through programs like those for veterans organizations, state veterans groups, or military service recognition plates. The regular registration fee remains unchanged; only the additional $10 service charge is discontinued.
