BILL NUMBER:S6667
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to motor vehicle repair shop exclusions
Purpose
To exclude repair shops whose activities primarily consist of restoring, rebuilding or customizing specialty motor vehicles or motor vehicles at least 25 years old.
Summary of provisions
Paragraph (d) of subdivision 2 of section 398-b of the vehicle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 21 of the laws of 1980, is amended and a new paragraph (e) is added.
Existing law
None.
Justification
Businesses who restore and customize specialty collector's automobiles should not be classified as a motor vehicle repair shop. These types of businesses do not repair vehicles used for daily transportation but rather restore classic cars close to their original look and feel. The purpose of car restoration is not to keep the car running, necessarily, but to undo decades of botched or temporary repairs or modifications. These types of automobile repair should not be subject to the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Act.
