BILL NUMBER:S5868 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the creation of a linguistic and culturally compatible accident prevention course pilot program PURPOSE: We are proposing that New York State implement a pilot program that explores the benefits of expanding the cultural and linguistic competency of providers of accident prevention courses. This will allow us to witness a significant improvement from the status-quo, as New York's fast growing multi-cultural communities will greatly benefit from the course, which would be provided by Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Accident prevention programs offered by culturally and linguistically competent providers will allow multi-cultural communities to better comprehend the instruction offered at these programs by ending the "English only" approach to teaching driver safety. It will also encourage more drivers from multi-cultural communities to partake in accident prevention programs
