hundred eighty-three of the laws of nineteen hundred ninety-seven shall,
upon request, be issued a license plate formatted at the discretion of
the department bearing the letters "DDS" or "DMD" and the official logo

Application for said license shall be filed with the commissioner in

New York and a member of the New York State Dental Association.
3. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued
in the same manner as other number plates upon payment of the regular
registration fee prescribed by section four hundred one of this article
and an additional annual service charge of thirty dollars. Twenty
dollars from each thirty dollars received as annual service charges
under this section shall be deposited to a fund for the credit of the
Percy T. Phillips Educational Foundation of The Dental Society of the
State of New York, said fund established as a revolving fund pursuant to
section ninety-seven-www of the state finance law; provided, however,
that one year after the effective date of this section, funds in the
amount of five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be available
shall be allocated from such fund to the department to offset costs
associated with the production of such license plates.
