BILL NUMBER: S4903 REVISED 05/11/09 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to non-divisible load permits SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : This bill amends Section 385(15) (d) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law by providing that, in a city not wholly included within one county, a nondivisible load permit issued by New York State Department of Transportation will be valid along a specified route on designated highways connecting Westchester County to Nassau County.

When these vehicles exceed certain dimensions they require a special permit. If they travel on State roads outside and within New York
