S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5156 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E May 3, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sen. YOUNG -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to airbag safe- ty; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that airbag system fraud is a public safety concern for both consumers and the auto insurance industry and that efforts to address this serious risk to consumers have been piecemeal, rather than coordinate, and that compre- hensive coordinated legislation is necessary to protect consumers and insure the integrity of vehicle restraint systems. S 2. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 6 of section 398-d of the vehicle and traffic law is REPEALED. S 3. Section 415-c of the vehicle and traffic law is REPEALED and a new section 415-c is added to read as follows: S 415-C. SALE AND INSTALLATION OF RECYCLED INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS; RESTRICTIONS. 1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE FOLLOWING MEANINGS: (A) THE TERM "AIRBAG" SHALL MEAN ANY COMPONENT OF AN INFLATABLE OCCU- PANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM THAT IS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE TO BE INSTALLED, OPERATE, AND ACTIVATE IN A MOTOR VEHICLE AS SPECIFIED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. AIRBAG COMPONENTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO SENSORS, CONTROLLERS, WIRING, AND THE AIRBAG ITSELF. (B) THE TERM "LIGHT MANIPULATING SYSTEM" MEANS ANYTHING THAT WOULD MASK OR CAUSE THE INACCURATE INDICATION OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STATUS, CONDITION, OR OPERABILITY. (C) "PERSON" SHALL MEAN ANY NATURAL PERSON, CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION, OR OTHER ENTITY.
