N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law § 404-u: Distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plates

* § 404-u. Distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plates. 1. Any

person residing in this state shall, upon request, be issued a

distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plate in support of youth drug

prevention and treatment programs. Application for such license plate

shall be filed with the commissioner in such form and detail as the

commissioner shall prescribe.

2. A distinctive "keep kids drug free" license plate issued pursuant

to this section shall be issued in the same manner as other number

plates upon the payment of the regular registration fee prescribed by

section four hundred one of this article, provided, however, that an

additional annual service charge of twenty-five dollars shall be charged

for such plate. The additional service charge of twenty-five dollars

shall be deposited to the credit of the office of alcoholism and

substance abuse services and shall be used to support programs which

seek to reduce alcoholism and substance abuse among the youth population

in New York state through prevention and/or treatment. Such deposits

shall not be used to replace, offset, or supplant any existing funding

streams which aid the office, but shall be in addition thereto.

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 to the department to

offset costs associated with the production of such license plates.
