A 7982 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Requires license plates and liability insurance for limited use motorcycles

This bill requires owners of Class C limited-use motorcycles to register their vehicles and display official license plates when operating them on public roads. It mandates that these motorcycles carry liability insurance unless the owner is a government agency or corporation that can prove financial ability to pay for damages through a self-insurance certificate. The legislation also exempts Class B and Class C limited-use motorcycles from standard vehicle safety inspections and clarifies that their operators are not subject to certain equipment rules applicable to other limited-use vehicles. Additionally, the bill updates insurance laws to ensure that policies covering these motorcycles include specific first-party benefits for injured people outside the vehicle.
