BILL NUMBER: S5545
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to relevant market areas
PURPOSE :
This legislation would amend the six mile radius of a "relevant market
area" to include an exception when within the six mile radius of one
franchise to another includes the crossings of the Hudson River which
results in a minimum driving distance of more than six miles. In such
cases a "relevant market area" is to be defined as a six mile driving
distance at minimum, rather than a six mile radius.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section one amends subdivision 15 of section 462 of the vehicle and
traffic law which changes the definition of "relevant market area"
when the "relevant market area" of an existing dealership extends
across the Hudson River. In such cases, the "relevant market area"
will be calculated as the shortest driving distance from the nearest
surveyed boundary of the existing motor vehicle dealership to the
nearest surveyed boundary of the proposed additional or relocated
dealership.
Section two sets the effective date.
