It applies directly to jurisdictions using these automated systems to capture traffic violations. The law takes immediate effect upon enactment.
This bill establishes standards for motor vehicle glass repair facilities that handle vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as cameras and sensors. It requires repair shops to inform consumers if ADAS calibration is needed after glass replacement, confirm the calibration meets the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, and disclose costs clearly. The bill prohibits shops from misleading consumers about insurance coverage, forcing assignment of insurance benefits, or offering incentives to direct claims. Violations carry a $2,500 penalty per occurrence, and shops must refer customers to certified dealers if they cannot perform proper calibration.
Imposes fines for failure to exercise due care and move over when approaching parked, stopped or standing motor vehicles on the shoulder of a highway.
This bill expands the Long Island Rail Road's existing weekend reduced fare program to include East New York station. It requires the LIRR to provide the same reduced weekend fare for all trips between East New York station and other locations within New York City (e.g., traveling to or from Manhattan, Queens, or Brooklyn), eliminating current exclusions. The key provision mandates that the reduced fare applies regardless of starting or ending points within NYC, ensuring commuters don’t lose the benefit due to route crossings into Nassau County. The change applies only to weekend travel (12:01 AM Saturday to 11:59 AM Sunday) and takes effect January 1 following enactment.
S 2080 expands New York's assault law to protect more healthcare workers and hospital volunteers, including registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and certified nursing assistants, when they are performing their duties. It also extends these protections to transit workers like bus drivers, train operators, and station cleaners during official duties. The bill amends two sections of the penal law (subdivisions 3 and 11 of section 120.05) to add these new categories to the list of protected individuals. This change directly affects medical and transit workers by making it a crime to assault them while on duty, strengthening legal safeguards for essential frontline staff.
