BILL NUMBER:A9882
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to exception of historical motor vehicles from the metropolitan commuter transportation district supplement registration fee
Purpose or general idea of bill
Amends §499-a to exempt historical motor vehicles from the supplemental registration fee. These vehicles are defined in schedule G of subdivision 7 of §401 of the vehicle and traffic law.
Justification
Historic motor vehicles, as defined in the law, are used for shows, parades, public events and good will purposes, While they must pay a registration fee to be on the road, it is unreasonable to ask them to pay this supplemental fee when they are not driven on any regular basis. They are owned by collectors who only drive them for these special events, usually for short distances. As a matter of fact, you cannot use a historical vehicle for daily transportation.
