Universal Citation: NY Veh & Traf L § 2261 (2018)

§ 2261. Registration. 1. Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall operate any limited use vehicle on a public highway or street within this state unless such limited use vehicle has been registered in accordance with the provisions of this article, and the registration for such limited use vehicle is in full force and effect and the registration number plate or plates are displayed as hereinafter provided.

2. A certificate of registration issued pursuant to this article shall indicate that the registration is limited to use as provided in section twenty-two hundred sixty-two of this chapter. No application for registration shall be accepted unless the applicant is at least sixteen years of age.

3. Fees. (a) The fees for the registration, renewal, reregistration or amendment or duplicate of a registration of a limited use automobile shall be the same fees as if such vehicle were registered pursuant to section four hundred one of this chapter.

(b) The annual fee for the registration, renewal, reregistration or amendment or duplicate of a registration of a limited use motorcycle shall be six dollars and twenty-five cents. Any such registration will commence and expire on dates to be determined by the commissioner. A fee for a registration for periods of more or less than one year shall not be prorated.

4. Carrying certificate. Every person operating a limited use vehicle registered in accordance with any of the provisions of this article, shall, upon the demand of any magistrate, police officer, peace officer, when acting pursuant to his special duties, or motor vehicle hearing officer produce for inspection the certificate of registration for such limited use vehicle and shall furnish to such person any information necessary for the identification of such limited use vehicle and its owner. The failure to produce the certificate of registration as provided herein shall not be an offense, but shall be presumptive evidence of operating a limited use vehicle which is not registered as required by this article.

5. Out-of-state limited use vehicle registration. The registration provisions of this article shall not apply to a non-resident who has registered his limited use vehicle in compliance with the registration or licensing laws of the state, province or country of his residence, provided that the limited use vehicle so registered in accordance with the laws of the state, province or country of residence of such owner is appropriately identified by an identification plate, sticker or other identifying device issued by such state, province or country.
