PENDING BILLS

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing the issuance of distinctive license plates to retired disabled police officers
Please contact your local assembly person regarding this bill to see if they support it. I contacted mine as well as Mr. Zebrowski's office.
The Bill # is A09147 which would grant Disabled license plates to retired disabled police officers. This bill was introduced by Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski of Rockland County Distr. 094. Although not all of our members are 3/4 disabled, we must stick together whether retired Svc. or disability.
