A 7067 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to creating a distinctive plate for New York state licensed mental health counselors

This bill allows New York State-licensed mental health counselors to request a special license plate displaying "MHC" letters. To qualify, applicants must verify their active license annually and pay a $25 annual fee (plus a potential $15 additional fee), with all fees funding the Department of Motor Vehicles' distinctive plate program. The plate is optional, available only to licensed counselors (not their spouses unless they are also licensed counselors), and requires proof of licensure at the time of application. This creates a visible identifier for licensed mental health counselors through a new vehicle registration option.
