AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation  to  permitting
  owners  of  house  coaches to terminate insurance without surrendering
  registration certificate and license plates

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 312 of the vehi-
cle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 557 of the laws of  1994,  is
amended to read as follows:
  (b)  The owner of such motor vehicle shall maintain proof of financial
security continuously throughout the registration period and his failure
to produce proof of financial security when  requested  to  do  so  upon
demand  of  a magistrate, motor vehicle inspector, peace officer, acting
pursuant to his special duties, or police officer, while such vehicle is
being operated upon the public highway, shall be presumptive evidence of
operating a motor vehicle without proof of financial security. Upon  the
production  of  proof of financial security such presumption is removed.
Production of proof of financial security may be made  by  mailing  such
proof  to the court having jurisdiction in the matter, and any necessary
response by such court or acknowledgement  of  the  production  of  such
proof may also be made by mail. When insurance with respect to any motor
vehicle,  other  than  a  motorcycle   OR HOUSE COACH, is terminated the
owner shall surrender forthwith his registration certificate and  number
plates  of  the  vehicle  to  the commissioner unless proof of financial
security otherwise is maintained in compliance with this article.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately, provided that the  amend-
ments  to  paragraph  (b) of subdivision 1 of section 312 of the vehicle
and traffic law made by section one of this act shall survive the  expi-
ration  and  reversion of such subdivision as provided in chapter 569 of
the laws of 1981, as amended and chapter 781 of the  laws  of  1983,  as
amended.
