A 2163 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to vintage snowmobile registrations

This bill creates a separate registration fee structure for "vintage" snowmobiles (manufactured over 30 years ago) in New York. Owners must pay a standard $125 annual fee for registration, or a reduced $20 fee if they provide proof of membership in a qualifying New York snowmobile club affiliated with the state snowmobile association. The bill also adds a $5 fee for all vintage snowmobile registrations, regardless of club membership. These fees fund snowmobile trail development and maintenance, with the New York State Snowmobile Association assisting owners who cannot secure club membership.

MODERATE

This bill version was amended to clarify fee structures for vintage snowmobile registrations and to add provisions for validating date tags. The main change involves separating the fee collection into two distinct categories: a $5 base fee for all vintage snowmobiles and an additional $20 fee for those registered by club members, while also adding a new requirement for vintage design date tags on older snowmobiles.

Scope change

The bill now explicitly defines vintage snowmobiles as those manufactured more than thirty years prior to the current calendar year and adds specific requirements for date tags on these vehicles.

FISCAL

Fee structure was clarified to show a $5 base fee for all vintage snowmobiles plus an additional $20 fee for club member registrations, totaling $25 for eligible club members.

REQUIREMENT

New requirement added for issuing vintage design date tags on snowmobiles manufactured more than thirty years ago.

ELIGIBILITY

Clarified that the $20 additional fee applies specifically to individuals who can prove membership in an organized New York state snowmobile club affiliated with the state association or trail maintenance entity.

TECHNICAL

Added language to ensure the commissioner can develop and issue a special vintage design for date tags on older snowmobiles.
