 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the surren-
 der of number plates of all motor vehicles which a person has regis-
 tered where such person has a suspended or revoked license

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 403-c to read as follows:
 3 § 403-c. Surrender of registration and number plates. 1. Any person
 4 who has had their license suspended or revoked pursuant to subdivision
 5 two or two-a of section five hundred ten or subdivision one or three of
 6 section five hundred ten-a of this chapter for conduct relating to the
 7 operation of a motor vehicle shall surrender to the department the
 8 number plates of all motor vehicles which such person has registered
 9 pursuant to this article, and shall have any motor vehicle registrations
 10 which belong to such person suspended. Such surrender of number plates
 11 and vehicle suspension or suspensions shall remain in effect as long as
 12 the suspension or revocation of such driver's license.
 13 2. All motor vehicles registered to such person shall not be regis-
 14 tered or reregistered in the name of such person, or in any other name
 15 where the commissioner has reasonable grounds to believe that such
 16 registration or reregistration will have the effect of defeating the
 17 purposes of this section, and no other motor vehicle shall be registered
 18 in the name of such person during the period of such suspension.
 19 3. Except as provided in subdivision five of section four hundred
 20 twenty-eight of this title, refunds of fees assessed pursuant to this
 21 article and article fourteen-A of this title shall not be provided when
 22 suspension is mandated pursuant to subdivision one of this section.
 23 4. a. The commissioner or their duly authorized agent shall notify
 24 each person whose license has been suspended or revoked of such person's

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
