Administrative History

Article 11 of the Highway Law established regulations for the licensing of drivers, the registration of motor vehicles, the use of public highways, and the speed of motor vehicles. Chapter 374 of the Laws of 1910; which enacted Article 11 of the Highway Law, gave the authority to register motor vehicles and license drivers to the Secretary of State. It also mandated the trial court or court clerk to immediately certify the facts of the case of any conviction under Article 11 of the Highway Law to the Secretary State. The clerk was required to record this information in a register.
