                                BILL NUMBER:S2388

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the registration of
vintage snowmobiles

PURPOSE:
To exempt vintage snowmobiles that
are used for participation in club activities, exhibits, tours,
parades, occasional transportation and similar uses, but not used for
general snowmobiling purposes, from the portion of the snowmobile
registration fee that is deposited into the Snowmobile Trail
Development and Maintenance Fund.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Exempts vintage snowmobiles that are used only for
participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades,
occasional transportation and similar uses, but not used for general
snowmobiling purposes, from the portion of the snowmobile
registration fee that is deposited into the Snowmobile Trail
Development and Maintenance Fund.

Section 2: Requires that the registration stickers for vintage
snowmobiles be of a different color than other registration stickers
for snowmobiles.

Section 3: Defines a vintage snowmobile as any snowmobile manufactured
more than twenty-five years prior to the current calendar year, or
any other model, year and type snowmobile which has unique
characteristics and is determined by the commissioner to be of
historical, classic, or exhibition value.

Section 4: A person who owns or operates a snowmobile which is
registered as a vintage snowmobile and such snowmobile is not a
vintage snowmobile as defined shall be subject to a fine of $200.

EXISTING LAW:
The current snowmobile registration fee is $45 for New York State
Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) members and $100 for non-members.

JUSTIFICATION:
Requiring individuals who use their vintage snowmobiles
for participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades,
occasional transportation and similar uses, but do not use them for
general snowmobile purposes to pay into the Snowmobile Trail
Development and Maintenance Fund is unfair, as these individuals do
not use the trail system.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.3042 of 2009-10.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Unknown at this time.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
90 days after becoming a law.
