"...he must either pay the state an annual $100 tax or a lump sum of $300."
Brought to you by the state that spawned Upchuck Schumer and the Heinous Harridan, the two RATs that never met a tax they didn't like. Is anyone surprised?

Please allow me to apologize for all the communists in NYS who have created this and many more insidious laws. Would it be possible for the other 49 states to declare war on NYS? Under the interstate commerce clause, is NYS allowed to do this?

We've got the same thing in Michigan. No it is not the same thing.
The same thing would be if an Ohio driver got a ticket in Michigan, then after paying said ticket received a notice at their home in Ohio from Michigan state, claiming they are an "at risk" driver in Michigan and have to pay an additional "driver's responsibility fee"

New York has been charging income tax to out-of-staters for years. Ask Rush.

Well, since Her Thighness can't bring jobs and tax revenues to upstate NY,
I guess they've got to take matters into their own hands!

Unbelievable.
Guess the cigarette tax money is slowly dissolving so they will have to find other ways to support their tax and spend policies.

I'm not sure how enforceable that bill would be on someone from another state.
They would have to look for him when in New York to collect, I would imagine.
To: Justanobody
I have a friend who had a snowmobile accident 3 years ago in MI. 3 years he had to pay this fee, whether he came back into the state or not.

I doubt if they would. The thing is, if they ever catch you there again they'll probably demand payement then.

Driver responsibility taxes were inspired by the insurance industry practice of turning minor speeding violations into a recurring source of revenue. Though sold as affecting only "bad drivers" like those convicted of driving while drunk or on a suspended license, the extra fees kick in with just a few points on the driving record.
Michigan, New Jersey and Texas also impose this tax, and the idea is spreading.
With a 34-6 vote on Friday, the Virginia state Senate approved a "bad driver" tax championed by new governor Timothy M. Kaine (D) that is expected to net $67.2 million in the first year and a total of $401.4 million by 2010. The state House has not yet acted on the measure.
Guess it is time to move.....

Yes, I've heard Rush go off on that, and rightfully so, but this is for the sole purpose of getting a traffic ticket as you drive through another state!?!?

My apologies, I had not read the full article when I posted before. The slippery slope has become a steep hill.
