                                 BILL NUMBER:  S2393

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to the issuance of distinctive plates for members of Kiwanis
International

 PURPOSE :

Amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow for distinctive plates for
Kiwanis members.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 will amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law will by adding
section § 404-y, which reads:

Subdivision 1, any member of Kiwanis International residing within New
York State, upon request, shall be issued a license plate bearing the
words "Kiwanis International".

Subdivision 2, proof must be shown to the satisfaction of the
commissioner that the applicant is a member of Kiwanis International.

Subdivision 3, provides for a fee.

Section 2 states that a distinctive plate can only be designed,

produced and issued upon the delivery to the department of a surety
bond in the amount of six thousand dollars. However if the
Commissioner receives prior to the plate design at least two hundred
orders with the annual service charge, no such surety bond will be
required.

Subdivision 2, deems that if upon the expiration of two years
following the date upon which distinctive plates in the series are
first available for sale two hundred or more sets of such plates are

such shortfall.

work in every area of New York State. Additionally, Kiwanis clubs
sponsor K-Kids Clubs in elementary schools, Builders Clubs in Middle
Schools, Key Clubs, in High Schools, Circle K Clubs at Colleges and
Universities and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities, all
providing service and leadership development opportunities to members
of those communities.

These distinctive license plates would give Kiwanis members the
opportunity to receive recognition for the good work they do, as well
as promote the organization to other members of the community in which
they live.
