Summary of Assembly Bill A 3421

Overview

  • Bill Number: A 3421
  • Title: Relates to the collection of supplemental vehicle registration fees for New York City registrants; repealer
  • Sponsor: Karl Brabenec (primary)
  • Introduced: January 27, 2025
  • Status: REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION (listed twice in the legislative actions)

Purpose and intent

Based on the title, A 3421 aims to address how a supplemental vehicle registration fee is collected from New York City registrants and to repeal a related existing provision. The term “repealer” indicates that the bill would remove one or more current statutes or regulatory provisions governing the supplemental fee, while the phrase “relates to the collection” suggests it would modify or replace the method, framework, or rules for collecting that fee.

Key provisions (as can be inferred from the bill’s title)

  • Repealer component: The bill would repeal an existing law or provision tied to the NYC supplemental vehicle registration fee. This could involve removing current collection authority, rate structure, exemptions, or related administrative rules.
  • Collection framework: The bill would establish or modify how the supplemental fee is collected from NYC registrants. This could involve:
    • Which agency collects the fee (likely the Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority)
    • The timing and mechanism of collection (e.g., at vehicle registration renewal or via another process)
    • Any changes to rate, exemptions, or applicability (though specific numbers or carve-outs are not provided in the available information)
  • Definitions and scope: The bill would define terms related to the supplemental fee and identify the registrants to whom it applies (i.e., New York City vehicle owners).

Note: Specific textual provisions, amounts, thresholds, or sunset/phase-in details are not provided in the information available here. The above reflects typical elements associated with a bill containing a “collection” framework and a “repealer.”

Who would be affected

  • New York City vehicle registrants: Individuals and businesses required to register vehicles in NYC would be directly impacted by any changes to how the supplemental fee is collected or repealed.
  • State and city transportation/registration agencies: Agencies responsible for vehicle registrations (e.g., DMV) and associated administrative processes would implement any new collection method, reporting, or transition rules.
  • Potential fiscal impact on NYC transportation funding: Depending on what is repealed and how collection is reorganized, there could be changes in revenue streams that support NYC or state transportation programs.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduction date: January 27, 2025
  • Immediate action: Referred to the Senate or Assembly committee on Transportation for review and potential amendment. The listed status indicates it is in the early stage of the legislative process.
  • Legislative actions: The record shows the same “REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION” entry listed twice, which may be a clerical duplication in the log rather than indicative of multiple readings.

Relation to prior or similar proposals

  • The bill lists several related/prior-session bills (A 5684, A 3275, A 10461, A 6590, A 5552, A 5555, A 5652, A 5398). This pattern suggests ongoing or repeated consideration of NYC supplemental vehicle registration fees in prior sessions, including reforms or repeals of related provisions.

Potential next steps

  • Monitor committee hearings and floor action in Transportation to learn about amendments, how the repeal interacts with current law, and the proposed mechanics of collection.
  • Review the full text upon publication to understand specific definitions, effective dates, transition rules, exemptions, and fiscal notes.
