Creates distinctive license plates for the United States army 10th mountain division
This bill creates three types of specialty license plates for New York residents: one for current members of the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division, one for supporters of the division, and one for veterans. Applicants must verify their status (membership, support, or veteran status) and pay a $20 annual fee, with the revenue funding plate production and marketing. The state motor vehicle department requires a $6,000 bond for plate production unless 200+ orders are received upfront, with excess funds supporting a scholarship program. The bill directly affects eligible military members, supporters, and veterans who register vehicles in New York.
