AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in  relation  to  requiring
  the use of rear wheel guards on certain vehicles

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

  Section 1. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as  the  "Amara
Diarrassouba life saving truck guard law".
  S 2. Section 375 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a
new subdivision 10-f to read as follows:
  10-F.  EVERY TRUCK, TRACTOR, AND TRACTOR-TRAILER OR SEMITRAILER COMBI-

section or part of this act be adjudged by any court of competent juris-
diction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invali-
date  the  remainder  thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to
the clause, sentence, subdivision, paragraph, section  or  part  thereof
directly  involved  in the controversy in which such judgment shall have
been rendered.
  S 5. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become a law; provided, however, that effective immediate-
