                                BILL NUMBER:S1352

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to establishing
distinctive "Pink Ribbon" plates; and to amend the state finance law, in
relation to establishing the "breast cancer education and support fund"

PURPOSE:
This bill would establish a distinctive "Pink Ribbon" license plate
and provide for the use of the service charge for breast cancer
education and support.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill adds a new section 404-x to the vehicle and traffic law that
would authorize the creation of distinctive "Pink Ribbon" license
plates. It would require an additional annual service charge of
twenty-five dollars per each set of plates issued. The initial
service charges collected by the department of motor vehicles in
excess of six thousand dollars would be paid to the breast cancer
education and support fund established in new section 95-h of the
state finance law.

JUSTIFICATION:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer-other than skin cancer-for women
in the U.S., and it is second only to lung cancer as the most deadly.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United
States, other than skin cancer. In 2012 about 226,870 new cases of
invasive breast cancer in women. About 63,300 new cases of carcinoma
in situ (CIS) will be found (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest
form of breast cancer) and about 39,510 deaths from breast cancer
(women) The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time
during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast
cancer is about 1 in 36. Breast cancer death rates have been going
down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and
better treatment. Right now there are more than 2.9 million breast
cancer survivors in the United States.

Breast cancer is a terrible disease and we need to make every effort
to reduce mortality rates and to someday find a cure. This bill will
help raise money to promote education and research in connection with
breast cancer and its cure.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
