BILL NUMBER:S719 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to creating a distinctive license plate for certain retired military personnel PURPOSE: To authorize the issuance of distinctive license plates bearing the words "U.S. Armed forces retired." SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds a new section 404-x to the vehicle and traffic law to provide for the creation of "U.S. Armed forces retired" license plates. An annual service charge shall be charged for the plate, and this fee shall be deposited to the credit of the department of motor vehicles custom plate development fund. JUSTIFICATION: There are numerous custom license plates for military personnel in New York State including a generic one for veterans, but there is not one specifically for retired military personnel. Retired military can be a veteran but so is a person who conceivably spent as little time in the military as one day. Retired veterans should be able to be recognized through a license plate as are the multitude of other military units and groups. No license plate today in New York State
