                                BILL NUMBER:S7082

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to creating the
proper tire repair act

PURPOSE:
This proposal adds a new article 12-D, to the vehicle and traffic law
that creates the proper tire repair act.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Title.

Section 2. Sets standards for proper tire repair for motor vehicle
repair shops. Sets civil penalty.

Section 3. Effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation will create standards that must be followed for a motor
vehicle repair shop to perform a tire repair. Improper tire repairs pose
a safety risk to motorists. Repairs outside the repairable area of a
tire, repairs performed without removing a tire from the rim/wheel
assembly that fail to repair damage to the tire inner liner, and other
repairs that fail to conform to industry guidelines increase the risk of
tire failure. Improperly repaired tires can fail while in service and

may result in a vehicle crash or cause serious personal injury or death.

The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) has provided a proper tire
repair standard and offered educational materials to the industry for
decades. Careful deliberation and consideration has produced a compre-
hensive guide to tire dealers and automotive repair outlets for proper
tire repairs. However, despite years of education and effort, too many
motor vehicle repair shops continue to perform improper tire repairs
that put motorists at greater risk of tire failure.

This legislation will allow a tire repair only in accordance with long
standing industry standards. Repairs are limited to the tread area only;
puncture injury cannot be greater than 1/4 inch (6mm), repairs must be
performed by removing the tire from the rim/wheel assembly to perform a
complete inspection to assess all damage that may be present, repairs
cannot overlap, and a rubber stem, or plug, must be applied to fill the
puncture injury and a patch must be applied to seal the inner liner. A
common repair unit is a one-piece unit with a stem and patch portion. A
plug by itself or patch by itself is an unacceptable repair.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect the thirtieth day after it shall become law.
