Bill > S07849

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to change certain references to the term "wheel" to "mechanism" when referring to the operation of a three-wheeled vehicle. Specifically, it clarifies that a Class D license is valid to operate a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels in the front and one in the rear, as long as it has a steering mechanism and seating that does not require the operator to straddle or sit astride. Additionally, the bill exempts these three-wheeled vehicles from the road test requirement for certain license classes, as the term "representative vehicle" does not include such three-wheeled vehicles. The changes in this bill align with a previous 2021 law that addressed the operation of three-wheeled vehicles.
