Section 1. Paragraph f of subdivision 2 of section 239 of the vehicle

f. The annual fee for filing a registration plate number with the
bureau by lessors under this section shall be twelve dollars per fiscal
year, EXCEPT THAT IN A CITY HAVING A POPULATION OF ONE MILLION OR MORE
SUCH FEE SHALL BE SIXTY DOLLARS PER FISCAL YEAR. Lessors shall also
provide the bureau with such other additional information in such format
as the bureau by regulation may reasonably require. The registration
plate number shall not be considered filed with the bureau unless the
annual filing fee provided for in this subdivision shall have been paid.
Lessors shall not be entitled to a refund, reduction, credit or other
consideration in connection with such annual filing fee in the event
that such registration plate number is withdrawn from service, destroyed
or surrendered during the fiscal year for which such registration plate
number shall have been filed. In the event that a lessor files with the
bureau registration plate numbers during the fiscal year, the annual
filing fee for same shall be prorated on a monthly basis, in accordance
with a schedule that the bureau shall promulgate by regulation for such
purpose. The primary filing by each lessor for each fiscal year shall be
made at least thirty days prior to the commencement of the fiscal year.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
