This bill adds "red cross vehicle" to New York's definition of authorized emergency vehicles under the Vehicle and Traffic Law. It specifically includes vehicles owned or leased by the American Red Cross (or its chapters), clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem. The bill clarifies that operators of these vehicles do not gain all emergency driving privileges granted to other authorized vehicles under Section 1104. The change directly affects Red Cross emergency response operations by legally recognizing their vehicles as authorized emergency vehicles for specific purposes.
This bill requires all 16- and 17-year-olds to wear a helmet meeting safety standards when riding electric-assist bicycles classified as "Class 1" or "Class 2."

Violations carry a $50 civil fine, but courts may waive the fine if the rider provides proof of purchasing or renting a helmet, or if economic hardship prevented helmet access. The law aims to enhance safety for this age group on e-bikes without restricting broader bicycle use.
