 404-c. Distinctive plates for former prisoners of war. 1. Any former
  prisoner  of war residing in this state or the spouse of any such former
  prisoner of war shall, upon request, be issued a license  plate  bearing
  the  words "former prisoner of war". If a distinctive plate is issued to
  a  former  prisoner  of  war  pursuant  to  this   section,   additional
  distinctive  plates  may  be  issued for every vehicle registered in the
  name of the former prisoner of war residing in this state or the  spouse
  of such former prisoner of war. Application for said license plate shall
  be  filed  with  the  commissioner  in  such  form  and  detail  as  the
  commissioner shall prescribe.
2. The distinctive plate authorized herein shall be issued upon proof,
  satisfactory to the commissioner, that the applicant or  the  spouse  of
  the applicant is a former prisoner of war.
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  chapter
  provided,  however,  that  no additional service charge shall be charged
  for such plate.
4. The unremarried widow or  widower  of  a  former  prisoner  of  war
  married  to  such former prisoner at the time of his or her imprisonment
  shall be included in the term "spouse" for the purposes of this section.
  A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this subdivision shall be  issued
  in  the  same  manner  as  other  number  plates upon the payment of the
  regular registration fee prescribed by section four hundred one of  this
  chapter,  provided,  however, that no additional service charge shall be
  charged for such plate.
5. Notwithstanding subdivision three of  this  section  and  the  fees
  prescribed  or  permitted  by  section four hundred one of this article,
  there shall be no charge for the issuance of a number plate pursuant  to
  this  section to a former prisoner of war, nor shall there be imposed an
  additional service charge for the issuance of such a  plate  to  such  a
  person.  Furthermore,  upon the issuance of a distinctive plate pursuant
  to this section, such a former prisoner of war shall be exempt from  the
  payment  of  any fees relating to the registration or renewal thereof as
  prescribed by section four hundred one of this article.
