* § 404-r. Distinctive plates for New York state licensed dentists who
  are  members  of  the New York State Dental Association. 1. Any New York
  state licensed dentist residing in this state who is a member of the New
  York State Dental Association as established  pursuant  to  chapter  six
  hundred eighty-three of the laws of nineteen hundred ninety-seven shall,
  upon  request,  be issued a license plate formatted at the discretion of
  the department bearing the letters "DDS" or "DMD" and the official  logo
  of  the  New  York State Dental Association. Such license plate need not
  contain the statue of liberty logo. If a distinctive plate is issued  to
  a  New  York  state  licensed  dentist  pursuant  to  this section, such
  distinctive plate shall not be issued to  the  spouse  of  such  member.
  Application  for  said  license  shall be filed with the commissioner in
  such form and detail as the commissioner shall prescribe, and  shall  be
  verified annually by the applicant.
2. The distinctive plate authorized in subdivision one of this section
  shall  be  issued upon proof, satisfactory to the commissioner, that the
  applicant is presently a dentist licensed to practice in  the  state  of
  New York and a member of the New York State Dental Association.
3. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued
  in  the  same  manner as other number plates upon payment of the regular
  registration fee prescribed by section four hundred one of this  article
  and  an  additional  annual  service  charge  of  thirty dollars. Twenty
  dollars from each thirty dollars  received  as  annual  service  charges
  under  this  section  shall be deposited to a fund for the credit of the
  Percy T. Phillips Educational Foundation of The Dental  Society  of  the
  State of New York, said fund established as a revolving fund pursuant to
  section  ninety-seven-www  of  the state finance law; provided, however,
  that one year after the effective date of this  section,  funds  in  the
  amount  of five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be available
  shall be allocated from such fund to  the  department  to  offset  costs
  associated with the production of such license plates.
