Relates to distinctive license plates for society for the prevention of cruelty to animals officers
This bill would allow New York SPCA officers and their spouses to request special license plates displaying "S.P.C.A." upon meeting specific requirements. Officers must apply annually with verification of their status, pay a $15 one-time fee plus standard registration, and only one plate per officer is issued (not for spouses if the officer already has one). The plates would be produced only if 200+ orders are received within two years (avoiding a $6,000 surety bond) or with the bond, with fees funding plate development. This is a procedural change affecting SPCA officers' vehicle registration, not substantive policy.
