Bill > S07200

This bill modifies registration fees and requirements for vintage snowmobiles in New York state, specifically defining "vintage" as snowmobiles manufactured more than thirty years prior to the current calendar year. The bill establishes a reduced registration fee structure for these older snowmobiles, lowering the annual registration cost from $125 to $20 for residents and non-residents who are members of an organized New York state snowmobile club affiliated with the New York state snowmobile association. Additionally, the bill introduces a new $5 registration fee specifically for vintage snowmobiles and allows the commissioner of motor vehicles to develop a special vintage design for registration date tags for these older snowmobiles. The bill also provides a mechanism for individuals who cannot secure snowmobile club membership to contact the New York state snowmobile association for assistance. These changes aim to create more favorable registration conditions for owners of older snowmobiles while maintaining the requirement of club membership for reduced fees. The bill is set to take effect on December 31, 2028, with provisions for immediate preparation of necessary regulations.
