Relates to the issuance of distinctive plates for retired members of the New York state legislature
This bill allows retired members of the New York State Legislature who live in New York to request special license plates displaying "Retired NYS Legislator." To qualify, applicants must annually apply to the DMV, pay the standard registration fee plus a $25 annual service charge, and verify their retired status. The bill requires a $6,000 surety bond for plate production unless 200+ orders are received upfront, with the service charges funding plate development through a dedicated state fund. It does not change existing laws but adds a new plate option for eligible retired legislators.
