 STATE OF NEW YORK

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 July 16, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. BEEPHAN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the issuance
 of license plates for vehicles owned by severely disabled persons

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 404-a of the vehicle and traffic
 2 law, as amended by chapter 191 of the laws of 1991, is amended to read
 3 as follows:
 4 2. Registration of vehicles owned by severely disabled persons. The
 5 commissioner shall assign to such motor vehicles, including any van or
 6 pick-up truck used for transporting persons with disabilities which is
 7 not used for commercial purposes, owned by such persons, a distinctive
 8 number and issue and deliver in such manner as the commissioner may
 9 select to the owner a certification of registration, in such form as the
 10 commissioner shall prescribe and two number plates, called disabled
 11 person plates. Said disabled person plates shall conform to the require-
 12 ments of section four hundred one of this [chapter] article, but shall
 13 bear distinctive marks to distinguish them from number plates to be
 14 issued to other persons, qualifying under this chapter. The commission-
 15 er, in [his] their discretion, may issue, for any registration year,
 16 only one plate as a set for a motor vehicle, in which event a set of
 17 disabled person plates for a motor vehicle shall consist of one plate.
 18 Where a severely disabled person owns more than one vehicle and such
 19 vehicle or vehicles is or are used by [severely disabled] members of the
 20 owner's family who reside with the owner, the commissioner shall issue
 21 one set of plates for each additional vehicle used by such severely
 22 disabled person[, provided that such user qualifies as a severely disa-
 23 bled person in the manner required by this section] or by family members
 24 of the severely disabled person to transport the severely disabled
 25 person.
 26 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
