A00468 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)



 
BILL NUMBER: A468
 
SPONSOR: Magnarelli

 
TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act directing the commissioner of motor vehicles to conduct a study
of official inspection stations, safety inspections and fees
 
 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
 
Requires the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles to conduct a study on the
appropriate fees and subjects of the annual motor vehicle safety and
emissions inspection.
 
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
 
Section 1: Directs the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") to
conduct a study on updating the standards and fees for the annual motor
vehicle safety and emissions inspection in NY.
 
Section 2: Gives the DMV 1-year after becoming law to complete the
study. The DMV must submit the report to the Assembly and Senate.
 
Section 3: Establishes the effective date.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:
 
New York State requires motor vehicles to undergo an annual safety and
emissions inspection to ensure the vehicle is safe and not excessively
polluting the environment. The fees for inspection range between $6 and
$27 depending on the vehicle. These fees have not changed in over a
decade and led to concerns from inspection stations that it is not
in-line with their current costs. Additionally, as motor vehicles become
more sophisticated there may be a need to reevaluate the items that are
required in such inspections to ensure safety and reduce emissions. This
study will help the DMV to evaluate what fee levels are appropriate and
if changes are needed to the inspection list.
 
 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2023-2024: A.8190-A
 
 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  To be determined.
 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
30 days after it becomes law.
