All you have to do is add a quick introduction such as "My name is Larry Smith and I am a 20 year resident of NY and also a car collector. Please support A.B. 6563 on my behalf. The highlights of this bill include:
A.B. 6563 allows for the use of non-original materials and creates a titling criterion that assigns these vehicles the same model year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.
A.B. 6563 exempts street rods and customs from a range of standard equipment requirements (only that equipment required in the model year that the vehicle resembles) and emissions inspections.
A.B. 6563 provides that vehicles titled and registered as street rods and custom vehicles may only be used for occasional transportation, exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, etc. and not for general daily transportation.
A.B. 6563 provides for special license plates for street rods and custom vehicles and permits the use of blue dot taillights.
Thank you."
