     3  59 of the laws of 2009 and subdivision 1-a as added by  chapter  415  of
     4  the laws of 2001, are amended to read as follows:
     5    1.  The  commissioner  may  issue  special number plates to applicants
     6  therefor in the same manner as other number plates are  issued  pursuant
     7  to  this  article.  Such special number plates shall be issued only upon
     8  payment of an annual service charge of thirty-one  dollars  and  twenty-
     9  five  cents  in  addition  to the regular fee prescribed by section four
    10  hundred one of this article. Application for special number plates shall
    11  be made in accordance with regulations promulgated by  the  commissioner
    12  with  respect  to  issuance of such number plates. Provided, however, in

    13  lieu of the annual fee specified herein, the commissioner may  establish
    14  specific  categories  of plates for which an annual fee of not less than
    15  eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents nor more than thirty-one dollars
    16  and twenty-five cents may be charged subject  to  the  approval  of  the
    17  director  of the division of the budget.  Notwithstanding any inconsist-
    18  ent provision of this section,  the  difference  collected  between  the
    19  special  plates  fee  or service charge set forth in this subdivision in
    20  effect on and after September first, two thousand nine and  the  special
    21  plates  fee  or  service  charge set forth in this subdivision in effect
    22  prior to such date shall be deposited to the  credit  of  the  dedicated
    23  highway  and  bridge trust fund.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
    24  this subdivision or any other provision of  law,  any  registration  and

    25  special  number  plates  issued to a person as a result of such person's
