BILL NUMBER:S3213
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to registration fees for historic vehicles
Purpose or general idea of bill
Relates to a one time registration of antique vehicles, street rods, and custom vehicles.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section 401 of vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new schedule M to read as follows: M. Schedule for antique vehicles, street rods, and custom vehicles. For each motor vehicle which is owned or operated as an exhibition piece or a collector's item, and which is used for participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses, but not used for general daily transportation, a one-time initial registration fee of one-hundred dollars.
Justification
With New York State facing an ever-increasing budget deficit, this legislation could present an influx of income from the collection of this one-time registration fee, and realize roughly between $12 million to $20 million dollars of revenue.
As market trends come and go, it seems that the antique car, street rod, and custom car segment remains a consistent and popular segment of the automotive market. For many vehicle enthusiasts in New York and throughout America, building, maintaining, and enjoying their vehicles is a favorite pastime, preserving a slice of American History. The owners of these vehicles have been very strong proponents of this one-time registration proposal.
