 3 read as follows:
 4 REGISTRATION AND OPERATION OF BICYCLES AND PLAY DEVICES
 5 § 2. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding two new sections
 6 1244 and 1245 to read as follows:
 7 § 1244. Registration of certain bicycles with electric assist. 1.
 8 Every bicycle with electric assist which has an electric motor that does
 9 not cease to provide assistance when such bicycle or scooter reaches a
 10 speed of forty miles per hour shall be registered and issued a license
 11 plate by the department. No person shall operate such a bicycle with
 12 electric assist on the public highways unless such bicycle with electric
 13 assist shall have a distinctive number assigned to it by the commission-
 14 er and a number plate issued by the commissioner with a number corre-
 15 sponding to that of the certificate of registration.
 16 2. Such license plates shall be of such material, form, design and
 17 dimensions and contain or set forth such distinguishing number or other
 18 identification marks as the commissioner shall prescribe, provided,
 19 however, that there shall be at all times a marked contrast between the
 20 color of the number plates and that of the numerals or letters thereon,
 21 and provided further that no such bicycle with electric assist shall
 22 display the number plates of more than one state at a time, nor shall
 23 any plate be used other than those issued by the commissioner.
