The sponsor's argument

Why Dan Stec says this is needed

New York State provides for vehicle owners to obtain various specialty license plates indicating unique personal, cultural, or geographic distinctions as well as supporting various causes. While New York State does allow various specialty, or distinctive plates to be issued, there is no such specialty license plate with a distinction commemorating the Adirondack Park, the largest publicly protect park in the contiguous in the United States as well as holding the further distinction of the largest National Historic Landmark in the United States, covering an area larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and the Great Smokies National Parks combined. This will allow motorists to proudly support the Adirondack Park.

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.
