S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2698 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 28, 2015 ___________ Introduced by Sen. FELDER -- 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 authorizing the production of proof of insurance by the use of electronic trans- mission to portable electronic devices THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 312 of the vehi- cle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 557 of the laws of 1994, is amended to read as follows: (b) (1) The owner of such motor vehicle shall maintain proof of finan- cial security continuously throughout the registration period and his failure to produce proof of financial security when requested to do so upon demand of a magistrate, motor vehicle inspector, peace officer, acting pursuant to his special duties, or police officer, while such vehicle is being operated upon the public highway, shall be presumptive evidence of operating a motor vehicle without proof of financial securi- ty. Upon the production of proof of financial security such presumption is removed. Production of proof of financial security may be made by mailing such proof to the court having jurisdiction in the matter, and any necessary response by such court or acknowledgement of the production of such proof may also be made by mail. When insurance with respect to any motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, is terminated the owner shall surrender forthwith his registration certificate and number plates of the vehicle to the commissioner unless proof of financial security otherwise is maintained in compliance with this article. (2) PROOF OF FINANCIAL SECURITY MAY BE ESTABLISHED BY MEANS OF TRANS- MISSION OF AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THE OWNER'S INSURANCE CARD TO THE OWNER'S OR OPERATOR'S SMART PHONE OR OTHER PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDED THAT: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
