                                 BILL NUMBER:  S1807A             REVISED 02/17/10

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to
prohibiting the use of any device which affects the operation of a
traffic-control signal


 PURPOSE :
To prohibit the operation of any vehicle, except an emergency vehicle,
that is equipped with a device which affects the operation of a
traffic control signal.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1 of the bill adds a new section 397-c to the vehicle and
traffic law to make it illegal for a person to operate a vehicle which
he or she knows is equipped with a device capable of affecting the
operation of any traffic-control signal. The bill also provides
exceptions where the operator can show by credible evidence that he or
she was not aware of the presence of the device or if the person using
such a device is engaged in the authorized maintenance or repair of a
traffic-control signal. Possession of the device shall constitute a
traffic infraction. If the operator is using the device to affect the
operation of a traffic control signal, it shall constitute a class A
misdemeanor. If the unauthorized use of such a device causes property
damage, personal injury or death, then it shall constitute a class E

felony.

In addition, operators of authorized emergency vehicles and public
transportation vehicles are exempt from this section.

 EXISTING LAW :
None exists.

 JUSTIFICATION :
There are people willing to pay as much as $1,000 for a device that
allows them to change a red light to green right from their drivers
seat as if they were law enforcement officers on call.  The purpose of
the existence of such devices is for emergency access and not for the
convenience for someone who wants to get home earlier from work or to
dodge traffic. These devices exist and are currently in use by non
emergency personnel. Public safety dictates the need to make the use
of such devices illegal by persons other than authorized emergency
personnel. Such devices flaunt public safety concerns and could cause
serious personal injury or death on New York roadways.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act takes effect on the first of November next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law.
