AN  ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to exemption of
  emergency service vehicles from thruway tolls

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivision  1 of section 378-a of the public authorities
law, as added by chapter 23 of the laws of 2010, is amended to  read  as
follows:
  1.  The  authority  is hereby authorized and directed to issue refunds
for tolls incurred by [ambulances] AMBULANCE SERVICE  or  fire  vehicles
engaged  in  an emergency operation, or, at the option of the authority,
to issue emergency services permits for use  by  [ambulances]  AMBULANCE
SERVICE  and  fire  vehicles which shall provide for travel at no charge
between interchanges and barriers while such vehicles are engaged in  an
emergency  operation.  For  purposes  of  this section, the term ["ambu-
lance"] "AMBULANCE SERVICE" shall have the same meaning as such term  is
defined by [section one hundred-b of the vehicle and traffic law] SUBDI-
VISION  TWO  OR THREE OF SECTION THREE THOUSAND ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH
LAW, the term "fire vehicle" shall have the same meaning as such term is
defined by section one hundred fifteen-a of the vehicle and traffic law,
and the term "emergency operation" shall have the same meaning  as  such
term  is  defined  by  section one hundred fourteen-b of the vehicle and
traffic law, BUT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION SHALL INCLUDE  RETURN-
ING FROM SUCH SERVICE.  In any rules and regulations promulgated for the
implementation  of this section, the authority may establish the type of
documentation or other proof  satisfactory  to  the  authority  that  an
[ambulance] AMBULANCE SERVICE or fire vehicle was engaged in an emergen-
cy operation at the time a toll was incurred.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
