Relates to penalties for failure to yield to authorized emergency vehicles

This bill (S 6614) increases penalties for drivers who fail to yield to authorized emergency vehicles, such as ambulances or fire trucks. It establishes tiered fines and jail time: a first offense carries up to $300 or 30 days in jail, a second offense within 10 years up to $600 or 90 days, and third or subsequent offenses up to $900 or 180 days. The law directly affects drivers who violate this traffic requirement, with penalties escalating for repeat violations within a decade. It amends New York's vehicle and traffic law to strengthen enforcement of emergency vehicle yield rules.
