A 8640 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Creates distinctive license plates for funeral service vehicles

This bill creates special license plates for New York funeral homes and directors to use on vehicles transporting human remains. Licensed funeral providers (under New York's public health law) can apply for these plates, which will display "funeral service vehicle" or a unique design instead of standard plates. The plates require annual verification of the provider's license and cost the same as regular registration fees, without the Statue of Liberty logo. The goal is to help identify funeral vehicles for traffic coordination during processions, following a precedent seen in other states like Texas.
