The New York State Senate passed legislation (S3687-A) sponsored by Senator Simcha Felder (D-Brooklyn) that aims to help remind New Yorkers when their annual vehicle inspection is due and provide a five-day grace period for vehicle inspections.

Currently, the DMV does not provide any written notice to motorists if their vehicle inspection is about to expire. Under this legislation, DMV would be required to notify motorists via postal mail thirty days before their vehicle inspection certificate is set to expire, unless they request to receive the notification by e-mail. The bill also creates a five-day grace period after the vehicle inspection expires before a ticket can be issued.
“For many over-worked, busy New Yorkers, the last thing on their mind is getting their vehicle re-inspected. In fact, the first time they realize their vehicle inspection has expired is when they return to find a hefty ticket on their parked car,” said Senator Felder. “In today’s busy world, we can all use a little help remembering and this bill would simply require the State to help remind New Yorkers to get their vehicles inspected.”
“New Yorkers continue to be overtaxed, over-ticketed and over-fined. By just giving drivers a fair warning, with a pinch of grace, we can help them get their vehicles inspected, without always reaching into their wallet first,” concluded Senator Felder.
Fantastic! It’s wonderful to have senators who support their constituents in a practical way!
Great idea, and that reminds me….I think it’s time to renew my registration
Um I get 3 email reminders before my inspection and registration is due. Yes it’s nice to have it by mail as some may not have this capability.
am i wrong for thinking that Senator Felder was elected to do more important things?
I Got Pulled over by a Sheriff 2 and a half years ago at 4:30 in the Morning , the car Registration was Expired by 18 Months, He was screeching at the top of His Lungs A YEAR AND A HALF again and again I told him I’m so Sorry, he answered I Didn’t ask if your Sorry, A year and a half. He was Demanding a Answer to a Question that has No Answer then he asked where I’m Headed I told him where I was going, and He Continued Practicing Screaming A YEAR AND A HALF, then says I need to see your License and Registration I gave it to him and he was still screaming I Put my hands up meaning to say Enough already, He walks away, He comes back a few Minutes Later with a Ticket and he screams again DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG A CAR REGISTRATION IS GOOD FOR? I just kept quiet, He says 24 Months, this is 18 Months, ALMOST DOUBLE!!!!.
I Just Don’t Understand why he has to take it so Personal what did I do to him?
