 1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 404-ff to read as follows:
 3 § 404-ff. Distinctive Adirondack park plates. 1. Any person residing
 4 in this state shall, upon request, be issued a distinctive plate in
 5 support of the Adirondack park of a design approved by the commissioner
 6 in consultation with the commissioner of environmental conservation.
 7 2. An application for such plate shall be filed with the commissioner
 8 in such form and detail as the commissioner shall prescribe.
 9 3. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued
 10 in the same manner as other number plates upon payment of the regular
 11 registration fee prescribed by section four hundred one of this article
 12 and an initial one-time service charge of twenty-five dollars shall be
 13 charged for such plates.
 14 § 2. 1. A distinctive plate established pursuant to section 404-ff of
 15 the vehicle and traffic law, as added by section one of this act, shall
 16 only be designed, produced and issued upon the delivery to the depart-
 17 ment of a surety bond in the amount of six thousand dollars, which shall
 18 be executed by a surety company authorized by the department of finan-
 19 cial services to transact business in this state. Provided, however,
 20 that if the commissioner of motor vehicles shall have received prior to
 21 plate design, production and issuance at least two hundred orders for
 22 such distinctive plate together with the additional annual service
 23 charge applicable to each such order, which shall be non-refundable, no
 24 such surety bond shall be required. All such service charges shall be
 25 deposited pursuant to the provisions of section 404-oo of the vehicle

 6 2. If, upon the expiration of two years following the date upon which
 7 distinctive plates in the series are first available for sale two

 9 to this section shall be discontinued. If fewer than two hundred sets of
