SECTION 2261
Registration
Vehicle & Traffic (VAT) CHAPTER 71, TITLE 11, ARTICLE 48-A
§ 2261. Registration. 1. Except as hereinafter provided, no person
shall operate any limited use vehicle on a public highway or street
within this state unless such limited use vehicle has been registered in
accordance with the provisions of this article, and the registration for
such limited use vehicle is in full force and effect and the
registration number plate or plates are displayed as hereinafter
provided.

2. A certificate of registration issued pursuant to this article shall
indicate that the registration is limited to use as provided in section
twenty-two hundred sixty-two of this chapter. No application for
registration shall be accepted unless the applicant is at least sixteen
years of age.

3. Fees. (a) The fees for the registration, renewal, reregistration or
amendment or duplicate of a registration of a limited use automobile
shall be the same fees as if such vehicle were registered pursuant to
section four hundred one of this chapter.

(b) The annual fee for the registration, renewal, reregistration or
amendment or duplicate of a registration of a limited use motorcycle
shall be six dollars and twenty-five cents. Any such registration will
commence and expire on dates to be determined by the commissioner. A fee
for a registration for periods of more or less than one year shall not
be prorated.

4. Carrying certificate. Every person operating a limited use vehicle
registered in accordance with any of the provisions of this article,
shall, upon the demand of any magistrate, police officer, peace officer,
when acting pursuant to his special duties, or motor vehicle hearing
officer produce for inspection the certificate of registration for such
limited use vehicle and shall furnish to such person any information
necessary for the identification of such limited use vehicle and its
owner. The failure to produce the certificate of registration as
provided herein shall not be an offense, but shall be presumptive
evidence of operating a limited use vehicle which is not registered as
required by this article.

5. Out-of-state limited use vehicle registration. The registration
provisions of this article shall not apply to a non-resident who has
registered his limited use vehicle in compliance with the registration
or licensing laws of the state, province or country of his residence,
provided that the limited use vehicle so registered in accordance with
the laws of the state, province or country of residence of such owner is
appropriately identified by an identification plate, sticker or other
identifying device issued by such state, province or country.
