   Section  1.  Section 155 of the vehicle and traffic law, as amended by

   §  155.  Traffic  infraction.  The  violation of any provision of this
 chapter, except articles forty-seven and forty-eight,  or  of  any  law,
 ordinance,  order,  rule  or  regulation regulating traffic which is not
 declared by this chapter or other law of this state to be a  misdemeanor
 or  a  felony.  A  traffic  infraction is not a crime and the punishment
 imposed therefor shall not be deemed for any purpose a penal or criminal
 punishment and shall not affect or impair the credibility as  a  witness
 or  otherwise  of any person convicted thereof. This definition shall be
 retroactive and shall  apply  to  all  acts  and  violations  heretofore
 committed  where such acts and violations would, if committed subsequent
 to the taking effect of this section, be included within the meaning  of
 the  term  "traffic  infraction"  as  herein  defined.  Except  in those
 portions of Suffolk county for which a district court  has  been  estab-
 lished,  [outside of cities having a population in excess of two hundred
 thousand but less than two hundred twenty thousand in which  administra-
 tive  tribunals  have heretofore been established and] outside of cities
 having a population in excess of one  million  in  which  administrative
 tribunals have heretofore been established, courts and judicial officers
 heretofore having jurisdiction over such violations shall continue to do
 so and for such purpose such violations shall be deemed misdemeanors and
 all  provisions  of  law  relating to misdemeanors except as provided in
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
