S 709 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals provision of vehicle and traffic law relating to periodic inspections of police vehicles

This bill repeals an exemption in New York's Vehicle and Traffic Law that previously allowed police vehicles to skip routine safety inspections. It directly affects all police vehicles operated by New York state or local law enforcement agencies, requiring them to undergo the same periodic safety inspections as other vehicles. The key provision removes Section 308, subdivision 6 of the law, mandating that police vehicles comply with standard inspection requirements. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
