        AN ACT directing the commissioner of motor vehicles to conduct  a  study

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. The commissioner of motor vehicles shall conduct a study to
     2  review and examine the requirements  of  motor  vehicle  and  motorcycle
     3  safety  inspections conducted pursuant to section 301 of the vehicle and
     4  traffic law, to ensure the operational safety  of  such  vehicles.  Such
     5  study  shall  include,  but  shall  not be limited to, an examination of
     6  whether  additional  inspection  items  should  be   included,   whether
     7  inspection  items  should be modified, an examination of the maximum fee
     8  that the commissioner authorizes to be charged by an official inspection
     9  station, and the sufficiency of such fee in balancing the cost  of  such
    10  safety inspections to both consumers and official inspection stations.
    11    §  2. No later than one year after the effective date of this act, the
    12  commissioner of motor vehicles shall submit a report of such study  with
    13  the  commissioner's  findings  and  recommendations to the governor, the

    15  minority  leader of the senate, the minority leader of the assembly, the
    16  chair of the senate transportation  committee,  and  the  chair  of  the
    17  assembly transportation committee.

    19  have become a law.
