 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in  relation  to  requiring

   tion

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Subdivisions (a) and (b) of section 306 of the vehicle and
 traffic law, as amended by chapter 608 of the laws of 1993, are  amended
 and a new subdivision (g) is added to read as follows:
   (a)  The  commissioner  shall  suspend  or prohibit the renewal of the
 registration of any motor vehicle for which  a  certificate  or  certif-
 icates  of  inspection has or have not been obtained as required by this
 article, or the regulations promulgated  thereunder,  or  which  is  not
 repaired  within  the period designated under SUBDIVISION (B) OF section
 three hundred four OF THIS ARTICLE [(b)]; provided however, the  commis-
 sioner  shall  waive  the  requirement  for  any repairs to an emissions
 system beyond the expenditure amount permitted by federal law and  regu-
 lations once the amount has been expended, AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE
 COMMISSIONER   SHALL   PROVIDE  FOR  SUITABLE  NOTICE  OF  AN  IMPENDING
 INSPECTION  EXPIRATION  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH  SUBDIVISION  (G)  OF  THIS
 SECTION.  The  commissioner  shall provide for an appeal from a determi-
 nation related to a request that the repair requirement  be  waived.  No
 such  NOTICE OR waiver shall apply to classes of vehicles for which such
 waiver would be prohibited pursuant to  a  final  decree  of  a  federal
 court.
   (b)  No  motor vehicle shall be operated or parked on the public high-
 ways of this state unless a certificate or certificates  of  inspection,
 as  required  by  this  article, is or are displayed upon the vehicle or
 affixed to the registration certificate for the vehicle as may be deter-
 mined by the commissioner. The commissioner may, by regulation,  provide
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
