What's happening
This bill allows out-of-state recreational vehicle dealers to participate in New York RV shows if their home state offers similar opportunities to New York dealers.
Why it matters
Opens New York RV shows to more out-of-state dealers. , potentially increasing competition and variety for consumers by allowing participation from dealers in any state that reciprocates with New York, not just neighboring states.
Promotes fair business opportunities. by requiring that only dealers from states that allow New York dealers similar access can participate, encouraging other states to enact reciprocal policies and leveling the playing field.
Could boost economic activity at RV shows. by attracting a larger pool of exhibitors and possibly more attendees, benefiting local economies and the overall recreational vehicle industry in New York.
Maintains consumer protection standards. by ensuring all participating out-of-state dealers are properly licensed and authorized in their home states, helping to safeguard buyers from unregulated sellers.

Introduced by M. of A. MAGNARELLI -- read once and referred to the Committee on Transportation
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the reciprocity between this state and other states of the participation of recreational vehicle dealers in recreational vehicle shows and exhibits
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Section 419 of the vehicle and traffic law, as added by chapter 326 of the laws of 1997, is amended to read as follows:
§ 419. Recreational vehicle shows or exhibits. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary, a recreational vehicle dealer licensed to do business as such in another state or jurisdiction may participate in a vehicle show or exhibit which has, when it opens to the public, at least a total of fifty dealers from both this state and outside this state manning recreational vehicle manufacturer displays if the show or exhibit is trade-oriented and is predominantly funded by recreational vehicle manufacturers. All of the participating dealers who are not licensed by this state must be from a state [contiguous to this state] which permits recreational vehicle dealers licensed as such in this state to participate in like shows or exhibits in that state under conditions substantially equivalent to the conditions which are imposed upon dealers from that state who participate in recreational vehicle shows or exhibits in this state and are duly licensed and authorized by their state of residence to sell recreational vehicles. Except as otherwise provided, nothing herein shall be deemed to waive or alter any other provision of law, rule or regulation. For the purpose of this section, the term "recreational vehicle" shall have the same meaning as "house coach" as such term is defined in section one hundred nineteen of this chapter.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
