2006 New York Code - Registration And Issuance Of Special Number Plates For Veterans Who Survived The Pearl Harbor Attack.

 
    § 404-j. Registration  and  issuance  of  special  number  plates  for
  veterans who survived  the  Pearl  Harbor  attack.  1.  Registration  of
  vehicles  owned  by  veterans  who survived the Pearl Harbor attack. The
  commissioner shall assign to motor vehicles, owned by persons who  while
  on  military  duty  serving  in  the  armed  forces of the United States
  survived the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan on December seventh,  nineteen
  hundred  forty-one  or the spouse of such a person, a distinctive number
  and issue and deliver in such manner as the commissioner may  select  to
  the  owner  a  certification  of  registration,  in  such  form  as  the
  commissioner shall prescribe and two number plates, called Pearl  Harbor
  attack veterans plates. Said plates shall conform to the requirements of
  section four hundred one of this chapter, but shall bear the distinctive
  words PEARL HARBOR SURVIVOR to distinguish them from number plates to be
  issued   to   other   persons,   qualifying   under  this  chapter.  The
  commissioner, in his discretion, may issue, for any  registration  year,
  only  one  plate  as  a set for a motor vehicle, in which event a set of
  plates for a motor vehicle shall consist of one plate. If a  distinctive
  plate  set  is  issued to a Pearl Harbor attack veteran pursuant to this
  section, such a distinctive plate set shall not be issued to the  spouse
  of such veteran.
    2.  Issue  of  plates.  The commissioner shall issue sets of plates to
  such person in accordance with subdivision  one  of  this  section  with
  proof  by  such  person  or  the  spouse of such person that such person
  survived the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan on December seventh,  nineteen
  hundred  forty-one  in  a manner satisfactory to the commissioner who is
  empowered to carry out the effects of this section by formulating  rules
  and regulations. Such plates shall not be considered as "vanity plates".
  The  plates  authorized to be issued hereunder are special and are to be
  issued in recognition of valiant service rendered by the veteran to  the
  United States.
    3.  Application for registration. (a) The application for registration
  under this section  shall  be  filed  with  the  commissioner  of  motor
  vehicles  in  such  form and detail as the commissioner shall prescribe,
  setting forth  such  information  as  the  commissioner  may  reasonably
  prescribe  beyond  such  information required under section four hundred
  one of this chapter.
    (b) Application under this section  shall  only  apply  to  a  vehicle
  subject  to  registration  pursuant  to  subdivision six of section four
  hundred one of this chapter and as provided in subdivision one  of  this
  section.
    4.  Fee.  A  special  plate  and  registration issued pursuant to this
  section shall be issued upon payment of  the  regular  registration  fee
  prescribed  by  section  four  hundred  one  of  this  article provided,
  however, that an additional one-time service charge of ten dollars shall
  be charged for such plate.
