                                BILL NUMBER:S2513

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.
