Senator Gallivan Announces Senate Approval of Special License Plates for Kiwanis International

Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma) announces the State Senate has once again passed legislation that would make it possible for members of Kiwanis International to request special New York State license plates. The bill (S-6669) would allow members to purchase distinctive plates bearing the words “Kiwanis International.” 

“Kiwanis International celebrated its 100^th anniversary in 2015,” Gallivan said.  “The organization and its members perform service projects in communities across New York State and these special license plates will help promote the organization and recognize the many contributions of its members.”   

Under the legislation, any member of Kiwanis International residing in New York can be issued the distinctive license plates for an annual service fee of $25.  The charge is in addition to regular registration fees.

The bill now goes to the Assembly for consideration.  The Senate and Assembly passed similar legislation in 2015, but it was vetoed by the governor.

Kiwanis International is a world-wide service organization with members in over 300 local clubs.  Members perform a wide range of service and leadership development projects, devote millions of hours of volunteer service and raise nearly $100 million every year for communities, families and projects in 80 nations.
