The sponsor's argument

Why Andrew J. Lanza says this is needed

The New York City Fire Riders Motor Cycle Club is a fraternal Fire Department of New York City organization with over 300 members. The New York City Fire Riders Motorcycle Club was established in January of 1985. The club was created to unite firefighters and promote safe motor- cycling. The original group consisted of 16 members and there is now a chapter in Nassau County. The New York City Fire Riders Motorcycle Club is also affiliated with the Red Knights International Motorcycle Club and the Wind & Fire Motorcycle Club. These affiliations present the club with many opportunities to travel into Canada to fellowship within the brotherhood of firefighters. This legislation would allow for the issu- ance of a distinctive license plate for active and retired firefighters belonging to the New York City Fire Riders Motor Cycle Club. These club members would like to display their pride as present and former New York City Firefighters who are also proud motorcycle owners. This bill shows New York State's appreciation toward these particular individuals who bravely serve or have bravely served the residents of the City of New York.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
