     4    The commissioner shall distribute special vehicle identification park-

     9  nated  by  such  city,  town or village or pursuant to the provisions of
    10  section twelve hundred three-c of this article as a  place  for  parking
    11  for  persons  with  disabilities.  The  design,  period of validity, and
    12  procedures for reissuance of such permits shall be as determined by  the
    13  commissioner.  The commissioner shall make such permits available in the
    14  form  of  both  placards and window stickers and may prescribe rules for
    15  the display and placement of such placards and window stickers. A  city,
    16  town  or village issuing a permit pursuant to this subdivision or subdi-

    18  on the face of such permit, the last three digits of the  identification

    21  towns  and villages in the state shall appoint an issuing agent to issue
    22  such permits. Any person issued a permit pursuant to  this  section  who
    23  holds  a  driver's  license or non-driver identification card shall make
    24  the last three digits of such license or identification  card  available
