A05062 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A5062
 
SPONSOR: Barclay (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the quantity of disabled person plates issued to a person with disabilities   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue one set of person with disabilities plates for each vehicle owned by a person with disabilities.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 and 2 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of section 404-a of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to require the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to prescribe two number plates per vehicle owned by persons with disabili- ties. Section 3 of the bill would make it effective on the sixtieth day after it shall have become law.   JUSTIFICATION: As written, the Vehicle and Traffic Law only allows a registrant with a disability to receive one set of person with disabilities license plates from the Department of Motor Vehicles unless that individual also has another person with disabilities in his or her household. This can be an inconvenience if the person with disabilities owns more than one vehicle. The only other option available is to obtain a hanging handicapped park- ing permit from their local municipality. Although these permits are transferable and can be used in a vehicle the disabled person is driv- ing, or riding in, it is more logical that the Department of Motor Vehi- cles be required to issue a set of person with disabilities license plates for each vehicle owned by that person.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A6460 of 2021-22 Referred to Transportation A6177 of 2019-20 Held for consideration in Transportation A3220 of 2017-18 Held for consideration in Transportation A4482 of 2015-16 Held for consideration in Transportation A4451 of 2013-14 Held for consideration in Transportation A6295 of 2011-12 Held for consideration in Transportation   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Minimal   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall become law. The addition, amendment and or repeal of any rules or regulations necessary for the implementation of this act on its effective date is authorized and directed to be made and completed on or before the effec- tive date.
