Requires all limited use motorcycles sold in the State of New York be registered; relates to registration fees; authorizes the commissioner of motor vehicles to promulgate regulations.
Summary
Bill S01164 amends the vehicle and traffic law in New York to require that all limited use motorcycles sold in the state be registered. It establishes a new section that mandates dealers and manufacturers to obtain a dealer registration before selling these motorcycles. Additionally, it specifies that no dealer may acquire a limited use motorcycle for resale unless it has a vehicle identification number affixed by the manufacturer. The bill also outlines the penalties for dealers who operate without registration and the allocation of fees collected from these registrations.
Impact
The bill will impact state laws by increasing the regulatory framework surrounding the sale of limited use motorcycles. It will require dealers to register, thereby enhancing accountability and potentially improving safety standards for these vehicles. The fees collected from the registration process will be directed to the general fund, which supports the highway and bridge trust fund as well as the mass transportation fund, thereby impacting state funding for transportation infrastructure.
Sentiment
The general sentiment around Bill S01164 appears to be supportive among legislators who recognize the need for better regulation of limited use motorcycles. However, there may be concerns from dealers regarding the additional regulatory burdens and fees associated with compliance. As there have been no recorded votes or public committee discussions available, the sentiment remains largely speculative based on the bill's provisions.
Contention
Notable points of contention may arise from motorcycle dealers who could oppose the increased registration requirements and associated fees. There may be concerns about the potential impact on sales and the administrative burden of compliance. However, proponents argue that these measures are necessary for safety and accountability in the motorcycle market.
