Last week Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
introduced the New York State Adventure License Series,
providing New Yorkers and visitors the opportunity to purchase lifetime
licenses to fish, hunt and visit New York State Parks, as part of his efforts
to enhance sporting and recreational opportunities, support outdoor enthusiasts
and boost tourism throughout the state. As part of this promotional effort, the
Governor unveiled New York’s Outdoor Adventure License Plates, which features
nine new plate designs – including the I [love] NY HUNTING, I [love] NY
FISHING, and I [love] NY PARKS license plates – available for free exclusively
to those buying new lifetime hunting, fishing, or parks licenses in 2014. Click here to view the new plates.
In addition, New York residents who
secure lifetime licenses will have the opportunity to receive an Adventure
License, which allows them the option of consolidating all their recreation
licenses and benefits onto their New York State Driver’s License, an initiative
first introduced by the Governor during his State of the State address last
month. The Adventure License and plates are available on the state’s revamped
online licensing portal: www.licensecenter.ny.gov.
New York’s Lifetime Adventure License Series will
provide many benefits including:
