Bill > S06373

This bill requires all vehicles capable of traveling over 25 miles per hour to be registered and licensed with the department of motor vehicles, aimed at enhancing public safety and preventing potential criminal activity. The legislation mandates that such vehicles must obtain a registration certificate and number plate from the department, which must be conspicuously displayed on the vehicle. Owners of these vehicles will need to pay a standard registration fee, and the number plates must meet specific design requirements, including having a marked contrast between the plate color and the numerals or letters. Individuals operating unregistered vehicles will be subject to penalties and fines as outlined in the vehicle and traffic law. The bill's legislative intent emphasizes that vehicles capable of high-speed operation require special handling and safety considerations, and that regulating vehicle registration is crucial for maintaining transportation system integrity. The law will take effect 100 days after becoming official and will apply to all vehicles operating on public roads and highways within New York State.
