Sets certain requirements for side under-ride guards

This bill requires certain large trucks operating in New York City (population over 1 million) to install side under-ride guards within 24 months. It applies specifically to trucks, tractors, and trailers with a gross weight rating of 26,000+ pounds and a conventional cab configuration (more engine forward of the windshield). The guards must prevent pedestrians/bicyclists from falling into the space between axles and stop passenger vehicles from sliding under the truck. The law also mandates similar guards for all state fleet vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross weight, with exemptions allowed for practicality or service disruptions. The commissioner will create rules for inspection and compliance.
