Directs a pilot program for the use of digital license plates
This bill creates a two-year pilot program in New York allowing vehicle owners to use digital license plates instead of traditional metal plates. The program requires the motor vehicle commissioner to establish rules covering safety standards, privacy protections, product design, approval processes, and data security for digital plate companies. Digital plates must display registration details clearly at 100 feet and follow specific size and color limitations. The program includes a mandatory review after one year and a full report to the legislature within 18 months, after which the law expires.
