Maddy summaryThis bill requires dealers to register limited use motorcycles at the time of sale within New York State. Under the new rules, these vehicles must be officially registered immediately when purchased from a dealer, rather than waiting for the buyer to handle the process later. The legislation also sets the annual registration fee at $25.50 and mandates that dealers collect a signed declaration from buyers who intend to use the motorcycle exclusively outside of New York. These changes aim to streamline the registration process for specific types of motorcycles while maintaining oversight through dealer involvement.
