Sets fees for gold star family distinctive plates at the same rate as for gold star mothers
This bill amends New York's vehicle and traffic law to set the fee for gold star family distinctive license plates at the same rate as gold star mothers plates, eliminating any additional service charge. It directly affects New York residents who qualify for these plates - specifically, families who have lost a military service member (gold star family) and mothers who have lost a child in military service (gold star mothers). The key provision requires that gold star family plate fees match the existing fee structure for gold star mothers plates, as defined under Section 404-i of the law. This is a procedural adjustment to standardize fees without altering eligibility, plate design, or the underlying programs.
