re:the NY Bill
(from a pevious post)
Here is what is on the NYS legislative website:
http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?by=k&qs=street+rod
it appears that the previous bills died in the transportation committee. This is where the current bills reside.
A05224 Creates a special registration and distinctive license plate for street rods and custom vehicles
S00615 Creates a special registration and distinctive license plate for street rods and custom vehicles
Seems that these bills have been sponsored and died in committee since 1997.
