A 5951 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to creating a distinctive plate for combat veterans having served in the navy, marine corps, air force or coast guard

This bill creates special license plates for veterans who served in the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard during combat. Eligible veterans (or their spouses, but not both) can request plates displaying branch-specific wording like "Navy Combat Veteran" upon providing proof of service. A one-time $10 fee is added to standard registration costs, and plates require 200 pre-orders before production begins to cover costs. The program is funded through these fees, deposited into a dedicated fund for plate design and distribution.
