 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to registration
 and special plates for severely disabled veterans

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 404-a of the vehicle and traffic
 2 law, as amended by chapter 445 of the laws of 2024, is amended to read
 3 as follows:
 4 3. Registration of vehicles owned by severely disabled veterans. The
 5 commissioner shall assign to such motor vehicles, including any vans or
 6 pick-up trucks used for transporting handicapped veterans which are not
 7 used for commercial purposes and which are owned by such veterans or a
 8 not-for-profit corporation serving such veterans, a distinctive number
 9 and issue and deliver in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe
 10 to the owner a certification of registration, in such form as the
 11 commissioner shall prescribe and two number plates, called disabled
 12 veteran plates. Said severely disabled veteran plates shall conform to
 13 the requirements of section four hundred one of this article, but shall
 14 bear distinctive marks to distinguish them from number plates to be
 15 issued to other persons, qualifying under this article. The commissioner
 16 [in his discretion,] may exercise the discretion to issue, for any
 17 registration year, only one plate as a set for a motor vehicle, in which
 18 event a set of severely disabled veteran plates for a motor vehicle
 19 shall consist of one plate. Where a severely disabled veteran owns more
 20 than one vehicle and such vehicle or vehicles is or are used by severely
 21 disabled members of the owner's family who reside with the owner, the
 22 commissioner shall issue one set of plates for each additional vehicle
 23 used by such severely disabled veteran, provided that such user quali-
 24 fies as a severely disabled veteran in the manner required by this
 25 section. For purposes of this subdivision, the term "severely disabled

 6 meaning of such term as defined in subdivision four of this section; or
 7 who was rated sixty percent or more disabled by the United States
 8 department of veterans affairs.
 9 § 2. Section 404-a of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding
 10 a new subdivision 6-a to read as follows:

 12 subdivision six of this section and the fees prescribed or permitted by
 13 section four hundred one of this article, there shall be no charge for
 14 the issuance of a number plate pursuant to this section to a severely
 15 disabled veteran, nor shall there be imposed an additional service
 16 charge for the issuance of such plate to a severely disabled veteran.
