A 3421: Relates to the collection of supplemental vehicle registration fees for New York City registrants; repealer

This bill repeals New York State's Article 17-C, which established supplemental vehicle registration fees for New York City residents. It directly affects NYC vehicle owners who paid a $25 annual supplemental fee and those paying $1 every six months for learner permits or license renewals. The repeal removes these specific fees, ending their collection and redirecting related funds (previously deposited into MTA trust accounts) from the vehicle and traffic law. The change takes effect upon enactment, eliminating these targeted revenue streams for NYC registrants.
