 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing
 the creation of a 9-8-8 license plate

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

 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. 9-8-8 license plates. 1. Any person residing in this state
 4 shall, upon request, be issued a distinctive license plate of a design
 5 developed and approved by the commissioner in consultation with the
 6 commissioner of the office of mental health in support of the 9-8-8
 7 suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system. Application
 8 for said license plate shall be filed with the commissioner in such form
 9 and detail as the commissioner shall prescribe.
 10 2. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued
 11 in the same manner as other number plates upon payment of the regular
 12 registration fee prescribed by section four hundred one of this article;
 13 provided, however, that an additional annual service charge of twenty-
 14 five dollars shall be charged for such plates. Provided, however, that
 15 one year after the effective date of this section, funds in the amount
 16 of five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be available, shall
 17 be allocated to the department to offset costs associated with the
 18 production of such license plates.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
 20 it shall have become a law.

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