TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the issuance
of a distinctive license plate for members of the New York state Elks
association of the benevolent and protective order of the Elks

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation would allow members of the New York State Elks to
obtain a distinctive license plate that bears special wording that
recognizes both the organization and the membership of the applicant.
The act authorizes verification by the Commissioner of the Department of
Motor Vehicles that the motorist has an active membership with the Elks.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. The vehicle and traffic Law is amended by adding a new
section 404-z

the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, upon request, shall be
issued a license plate bearing the words "Elks Association."

2. Requires that satisfactory proof of membership be presented to the
Department.

3. Establishes that the plate will be issued in the same manner as other
numbered license plates upon the payment of the regular registration fee
and annual service charge of twenty-five dollars.

Section 2: Establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Currently, The State of New York makes available many different distinc-
tive license plates to members of various groups. The New York State
Elks Association of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks is a
community organization whose members take pride in their patriotic spir-
it and commitment to serving their communities. This legislation would
make it possible for proud members of this organization to show their
affiliation with the Elks by displaying a distinctive New York State
license plate.
