BILL NUMBER:A9882
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to exception of historical motor vehicles from the
metropolitan commuter transportation district supplement registration
fee
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Amends §499-a to exempt historical
motor vehicles from the supplemental registration fee. These vehicles
are defined in schedule G of subdivision 7 of §401 of the vehicle and
traffic law.
JUSTIFICATION: Historic motor vehicles, as defined in the law, are
used for shows, parades, public events and good will purposes, While
they must pay a registration fee to be on the road, it is unreasonable
to ask them to pay this supplemental fee when they are not driven on
any regular basis. They are owned by collectors who only drive them
for these special events, usually for short distances. As a matter of
fact, you cannot use a historical vehicle for daily transportation.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT:
EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
