* § 404-u. Distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plates. 1. Any
person residing in this state shall, upon request, be issued a
distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plate in support of youth drug
prevention and treatment programs. Application for such license plate
shall be filed with the commissioner in such form and detail as the
commissioner shall prescribe.

2. A distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plate issued pursuant
to this section shall be issued in the same manner as other number
plates upon the payment of the regular registration fee prescribed by
section four hundred one of this article, provided, however, that an
additional annual service charge of twenty-five dollars shall be charged
for such plate. The additional service charge of twenty-five dollars
shall be deposited to the credit of the office of alcoholism and
substance abuse services and shall be used to support programs which
seek to reduce alcoholism and substance abuse among the youth population
in New York state through prevention and/or treatment. Such deposits
shall not be used to replace, offset, or supplant any existing funding
streams which aid the office, but shall be in addition thereto.
Provided, however, that one year after the effective date of this
section, funds in the amount of five thousand dollars, or so much
thereof as may be available, shall be allocated to the department to
offset costs associated with the production of such license plates.
