New York NYP Registrations Expire This Week

By ROBERT ROTH
Member of the NYPPA Government Relations Committee

If you have New York State NYP license plates without your 2012 sticker, they are scheduled to expire this Saturday, July 31, 2010.

If you sent in your renewal but did not yet receive the sticker, call the DMV Custom Plate Unit in Albany at 1-518-402-4838 (Weekdays except state holidays:  8:00 AM - 4:00 PM).

They will verify if your renewal was received and processed. If so, they claim that “if your plate is run, it will come back valid” even if you haven’t yet put the new registration sticker in the windshield.

Unfortunately this may not prevent a parking ticket from being issued.

I was told “there are no extensions,” the same thing they say every year.

Reminder to file for the WTC 12 report

Members, this is a reminder of the importance of filing the WTC 12 report if they were at the World Trade Center…for one hour, one day, or one year. September 11, 2010 is the final deadline we have to protect ourselves over unknown or unexpected health issues that might arise over exposure to toxins in any form at the site.

This form preserves your rights to apply for Worker’s Comp in the eventuality of a 9/11 related illness at any time in the future.

I also urge our members to register for and to participate in the 9/11 health monitoring program at Mt. Sinai. This offers free health screening and medical care for ailments related to our exposure at the site.

Lastly, please encourage our members, and any journalists who covered 9/11 or the aftermath, to take a few minutes and fill out the NYPPA health survey online.

Thanks everyone!
