Bill > A07941

This bill limits the number of certificates of registration that the commissioner of motor vehicles can issue to manufacturers of zero-emission vehicles to five total, with specific restrictions on renewals. The bill focuses on manufacturers that exclusively produce zero-emission vehicles (defined by New York's code of rules and regulations) and their subsidiaries or affiliated entities. Specifically, the bill stipulates that any certificates of registration issued prior to January 1, 2025, will not be eligible for renewal after July 1, 2026. The legislation requires that if these certificates are transferred, they can only be moved to a subsidiary, affiliate, or controlled entity of the original manufacturer. The bill aims to regulate the registration of zero-emission vehicle manufacturers by creating a cap on the number of certificates and establishing a sunset date for existing registrations, potentially limiting the expansion of such manufacturers in New York state.
