Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing the travel on a highway of a farm vehicle from its point of sale to a farm
Purpose
To allow farm vehicles to travel between a farm and its point of sale
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends § 401(13) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to include the point of sale of a farm vehicle in the list of permissible locations from which a farm vehicle may travel upon public highways, provided the travel is not further than twenty-five miles one-way from a point on the farm as designated by the vehicle owner.
Section 2 is the effective date.
Existing law
Section 401(13) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, currently permits registration of motor vehicles, trailers, and semitrailers operated upon public highways connecting portions of a farm or farms, municipal sanitary landfills, and licensed motor vehicle repair shops, provided the person operating the vehicle travels by the most direct route, which does not exceed twenty-five miles one-way from a point on the farm as designated by the vehicle's owner and set forth in an attachment to the vehicle registration. Current law does not provide the same authorization of travel from a dealership or the point of sale of the vehicle.
Justification
Farm vehicles are only allowed to travel on public highways for distances less than 25 miles, and the destination must be a municipal sanitary landfill, licensed motor vehicle repair shop, or between portions of a farm or farms. Currently, farm vehicles have to transport by a trailer from its point of sale to the farm. This unnecessarily adds to the cost of purchase of the vehicle and is a burden on farmers, especially as other travel is permitted. This bill remedies this inconsistency and alleviates the extra fees by including the point of sale of a farm vehicle in the list of permissible locations from which a farm vehicle may travel upon public highways, provided the travel is not further than twenty-five miles one-way from a point on the farm as designated by the vehicle owner.
