N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law § 308-a: Mandatory reporting

§ 308-a. Mandatory reporting. If any motor vehicle is presented for

inspection at a licensed official inspection station, and such vehicle

has been altered, a vehicle commonly referred to as a "stretch

limousine", so as to add seating capacity beyond that provided by the

original manufacturer by way of an extended chassis, lengthened wheel

base, or an elongated seating area, and in the case of a truck, has been

modified to transport passengers, such licensed official inspection

station shall refuse inspection for such vehicle and promptly report

such vehicle to the commissioner in a form and manner prescribed by such

commissioner. Provided, however, that the provisions of this section

shall not apply to any altered motor vehicle for which the department of

transportation has issued an exemption letter pursuant to paragraph

three of subdivision (f) of part 79.20 of title fifteen of the codes,

rules, and regulations of the state of New York and that is in

compliance with part 567 of title forty-nine of the code of federal

regulations.
