 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 385-a of the vehicle  and  traffic

 follows:
   3. Each weigh in motion violation monitoring system  shall  undergo  a
 calibration  check every six months in accordance with [American Society
 for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard specification E1318-09 (2017).
 If such standard specification is revised, the New York city  department
 of  transportation shall adopt a rule to provide for the use of the most
 current  version  of   such   standard   specification]   SPECIFICATIONS

 pendent calibration laboratory which shall issue a signed certificate of
 calibration on its letterhead to the city of New York. Nothing contained
 in this paragraph shall be deemed to require the signature of  a  notary
 public  on  such  certificate. The city shall retain each such bi-annual
 certificate of calibration on file until the  final  resolution  of  all
 cases  involving  notices of liability issued during such six-month time
 period which were based on photographs, microphotographs, video or other
 recorded images, and information and data generated in conjunction ther-
 ewith, produced by such weigh in motion violation monitoring system.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided,  however,  that
 the  amendments  to  subdivision  3  of section 385-a of the vehicle and
 traffic law made by section one of this act shall not affect the  repeal
 of such subdivision and shall expire and be deemed repealed therewith.
