Bill > A04305

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to explicitly prohibit grass clippings from being thrown or deposited onto highways, expanding an existing provision that already bans depositing various potentially hazardous materials like glass bottles, nails, wire, and cans on roadways. By adding "grass clippings" to the list of prohibited materials, the bill aims to prevent potential traffic hazards, damage to vehicles, or obstructions that could result from grass clippings being left on highways. The amendment is straightforward and applies immediately upon enactment, making it unlawful for any person to dispose of grass clippings on public roadways. This legislation likely seeks to promote road safety and cleanliness by ensuring that landscaping debris is properly disposed of off highway surfaces.
