 Introduced by M. of A. TANNOUSIS -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to registration
 fees for historic vehicles

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

 1 Section 1. Schedule G of subdivision 7 of section 401 of the vehicle
 2 and traffic law, as amended by section 25 of part G of chapter 59 of the
 3 laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
 4 G. Schedule for historical motor vehicles. For each motor vehicle
 5 which is owned and operated as an exhibition piece or collectors item,
 6 and is used for participation in club activities, exhibit, tours,
 7 parades, occasional transportation and similar uses, but not used for
 8 general daily transportation, [an annual fee of twenty-eight dollars and
 9 seventy-five cents] a one time fee of one hundred dollars. For purposes
 10 of this paragraph, a historical motor vehicle shall mean any vehicle
 11 manufactured more than twenty-five years prior to the current calendar
 12 year, and any other model, year and type vehicle which has unique char-
 13 acteristics and which is determined by the commissioner to be of histor-
 14 ical, classic or exhibition value. Registration plates for such vehi-
 15 cles shall be of a type and design approved by the commissioner, but
 16 shall be of a distinctive nature. Except that, with the approval of the
 17 commissioner, an owner of any such vehicle may utilize registration
 18 plates issued in the year corresponding to the model year date in which
 19 the vehicle was manufactured, if the registration plate is legible,
 20 durable, and serviceable, of this state, and accurate in color, as
 21 determined by the department. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
 22 construed to prohibit the use of previously issued registration plates
 23 that have been restored, without deviation from their original alphanu-
 24 meric or pictorial content, to such condition as otherwise satisfies all
 25 applicable requirements. Such plates shall be used only for the opera-

 1 tion of the motor vehicle listed on the registration application and on
 2 other motor vehicles which would qualify for registration under this
 3 schedule owned by persons other than the registrant for the purpose of

 5 ipation of possible purchase. No such registration will be issued unless
 6 evidence of financial security, in a form prescribed by the commission-
 7 er, is submitted which provides coverage for the motor vehicle listed on
 8 the registration application and for non-owned motor vehicles being
 9 operated with such plates.
 10 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
