BILL NUMBER: S1982 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to providing for distinctive license plates for members of the clergy PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : To provide members of the clergy with distinctive license plates bearing the word "Clergy", free of the usual tax imposed in the purchase of a distinctive plate. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 404-x is added to the Vehicle and Traffic Law to provide that members of the clergy, who are duly appointed chaplains, upon request, be issued a license plate bearing the word "Clergy" and that this plate be issued upon payment of the regular registration fee. JUSTIFICATION : Clergy are called to visit hospitals, jails, nursing homes or homebound seniors often find it difficult or impossible to park. In order to perform their pastoral duties they need reasonable access to those places. These plates would provide notification to any law enforcement personnel that the car owner is a member of the clergy. The "Clergy" license plate will not enable the holder to violate any local parking or traffic regulations. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : 2007-08 (A10784)
