   § 404-Y. DISTINCTIVE PLATES FOR FIRE POLICE. 1. ANY PERSON  WHO  IS  A
 MEMBER  OF  THE FIRE POLICE OR THE SPOUSE OF ANY SUCH PERSON SHALL, UPON
 REQUEST, BE ISSUED A LICENSE PLATE BEARING THE WORDS "FIRE POLICE".   IF
 A DISTINCTIVE PLATE IS ISSUED TO A PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, SUCH
 A  DISTINCTIVE  PLATE  SHALL NOT BE ISSUED TO THE SPOUSE OF SUCH PERSON.
 APPLICATION FOR SAID LICENSE PLATE SHALL BE FILED WITH THE  COMMISSIONER
 IN SUCH FORM AND DETAIL AS THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PRESCRIBE.
   2. THE DISTINCTIVE PLATE AUTHORIZED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION
 SHALL  BE  ISSUED UPON PROOF, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMMISSIONER, THAT THE
 APPLICANT OR THE SPOUSE OF THE APPLICANT IS A MEMBER OF THE FIRE POLICE.
   3. A DISTINCTIVE PLATE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE ISSUED
 IN THE SAME MANNER AS OTHER NUMBER PLATES UPON PAYMENT  OF  THE  REGULAR
 REGISTRATION  FEE PRESCRIBED BY SECTION FOUR HUNDRED ONE OF THIS ARTICLE
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT AN ADDITIONAL ONE TIME  SERVICE  CHARGE  OF  TEN
 DOLLARS SHALL BE CHARGED FOR SUCH PLATE.
   4.  NOTHING  CONTAINED  HEREIN SHALL REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL
 NUMBER PLATE UNDER THIS SECTION UNLESS  THE  COMMISSIONER  IS  SATISFIED
 THAT  THE  AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ANNUAL SERVICE CHARGES COLLECTED PURSUANT
 TO SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO  RECOVER  THE
 COSTS OF THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF SUCH SPECIAL PLATES.
   §  2. This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding
 the date on which it shall have become a law.
