AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the renewal
dates of registrations for certain trucks
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
1 Section 1. Paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 401 of the vehicle
2 and traffic law, as amended by chapter 137 of the laws of 1989, is
3 amended to read as follows:
4 a. Registrations, reregistrations and renewals shall take effect and
5 expire on dates determined by the commissioner. However, where the expi-
6 ration date of the registration of any vehicle, except a taxi or an
7 omnibus, falls on a Saturday, Sunday or state holiday, such registration
8 shall be valid for the operation of such vehicle until midnight of the
9 next day on which state offices shall be open for business. Provided,
10 however, that renewal of a registration may be used preceding the expi-
11 ration date of such registration including such expiration date.
12 Provided, further, however, that where the required proof of registra-
13 tion consists of an expired registration for the same vehicle, issued to
14 the same person applying for the registration or renewal, and the
15 expired registration certificate and number plates and date tags issued
16 for such registration had not been surrendered to the commissioner on or
17 before the expiration date of such registration, the commissioner may in
18 his discretion deem such application to be a renewal of the expired
19 registration and require that the fee paid for such registration be
20 computed as if the registration had been made prior to the date of expi-
21 ration of the expired registration. PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, THAT ANY
22 PERSON WHO OWNS AND OPERATES THREE OR MORE TRUCKS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR
23 BUSINESS PURPOSES MAY FILE A WRITTEN REQUEST WITH THE DEPARTMENT, ON
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
