Several bills considered by the New York State Legislature in 2018 failed to be approved by both chambers prior to the adjournment of the session.

Several bills considered by the New York State Legislature in 2018 failed to be approved by both chambers prior to the adjournment of the session.

Legislation (A.B. 2405) that would have provided that historical vehicle owners only pay a one-time registration fee of $100 upon initial registration failed to receive consideration in the Assembly Transportation Committee.

A bill (A.B. 6563) that would have defined a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948 failed to receive consideration in the Assembly Transportation Committee. Under the bill, kit cars and replica vehicles would have been assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model-year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.

A measure (A.B. 2791) that would have allowed for a single license plate to be displayed on the rear of a motor vehicle failed to pass the Assembly Transportation Committee.
