     3    (5-a)  Every  motor carrier shall furnish the department, beginning no
     4  later than July first, two thousand twenty-one and annually  thereafter,
     5  a  list of each altered motor vehicle commonly referred to as a "stretch
     6  limousine", if any, designed to carry nine or more passengers  including
     7  the  driver  that  such  motor  carrier  operates  pursuant to operating
     8  authority issued by the commissioner of  transportation,  including  the
     9  vehicle  identification  number  and  registration  number  of each such
    10  altered motor vehicle, and a list of  all  drivers  such  motor  carrier
