BILL NUMBER:S5634
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to vehicle inspection renewal notification
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would amend section 304 of vehicle and traffic law by adding a new subdivision where the Department of Motor Vehicles shall notify individuals via postal mail that their vehicle inspection is subject to expiration before such expiration.
Summary of specific provisions
Section (1) Section 304 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new subdivision (d) to read as follows:
(d)The department of motor vehicles shall notify individuals via postal mail that their vehicle inspection is subject to expiration before such expiration. Every owner of a motor vehicle which shall be operated or driven upon the public highways of this state, except as otherwise expressly provided, shall be contacted by mail or otherwise.
Section (2) This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law
Justification
This bill seeks to promote public safety by reminding a driver that their New York State Vehicle Inspection is close to expiration. Currently there is not a means to notify of impending inspection expiration; therefore it is common that many people miss their inspection renewal date. A reminder would give a warning notice to the motorist that it is time to take their vehicle in for the required yearly inspection. This would reduce the number of un-inspected vehicles with possible malffinctioning equipment on public streets.
