S 1955 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts antique motor vehicles from annual motor vehicle safety inspections

This bill exempts antique and historical motor vehicles (defined as those manufactured at least 50 years ago) from annual safety inspections required for most vehicles. It directly affects owners of such vehicles who use them for exhibitions, tours, parades, or collector activities - not for daily commuting - by removing this inspection requirement. The bill also modifies registration fees to $28.75 annually and allows owners to use original model-year license plates if they meet specific standards, provided they submit proof of insurance coverage. These changes clarify eligibility and streamline registration for antique vehicle owners while maintaining safety-related insurance requirements.
