        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to  the  repair
          of tires

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Section 398-d of the vehicle and traffic law is amended  by
     2  adding a new subdivision 8 to read as follows:
     3    8.  No  motor vehicle repair shop shall repair a tire if such tire has
     4  exposed ply or cord; a bulge, knot or separation in either  sidewall  or
     5  tread  area; tread wear indicators flush with the tread outer surface in
     6  any two or more adjacent tread grooves at three locations equally spaced
     7  around the circumference of the tire; or other material damage  or  wear
     8  that  renders  such  tire patently unsafe. This section shall not impose
     9  any liability on a repair shop that makes a reasonable  and  good  faith
    10  determination  that  the  tire,  upon  repair,  would  comply  with this
    11  section.
    12    § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
    13  have become a law.
