AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law,  in  relation  to  allowing
  wide-based single tires on certain vehicles

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The third undesignated paragraph of paragraph (f) of subdi-
vision 15 of section 385 of the vehicle and traffic law, as  amended  by
section  4  of  part  C of chapter 59 of the laws of 2004, is amended to
read as follows:
  No vehicle having a model year of two thousand six or newer  shall  be
issued  a  permit  pursuant  to  this paragraph unless each axle of such
vehicle or combination of vehicles, other than  steerable  or  trackable
axles,  is equipped with two tires on each side of the axle, OR EQUIPPED
WITH WIDE-BASED SINGLE TIRES ON EACH SIDE OF THE AXLE, any air  pressure
controls  for  lift axles are located outside the cab of the vehicle and
are beyond the reach of occupants of the cab while  the  vehicle  is  in
motion,  the  weight on any grouping of two or more axles is distributed
such that no axle in the grouping carries less than  eighty  percent  of
any  other  axle  in  the grouping and any liftable axle is steerable or
trackable; and, further provided, after December thirty-first, two thou-
sand fourteen, no permit shall be issued pursuant to this paragraph to a
vehicle of any model year that does not meet the  requirements  of  this
provision,  except  that  such  permits  may  be issued prior to January
first, two thousand twenty to a vehicle that does not meet the  require-
ment  concerning  axle grouping weight distribution, but meets all other
requirements of this section.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
