Bill > S06311

This bill amends the New York transportation law to require common carriers (transportation service providers like bus, train, or airline companies) to use bomb or blast resistant garbage receptacles in their facilities. Under the proposed legislation, these carriers must provide garbage containers specifically designed to minimize damage in the event of an explosion. The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services will be responsible for establishing the minimum technical specifications for these receptacles, ensuring they meet certain safety standards. The bill will go into effect 180 days after becoming law, giving carriers time to procure and install the new garbage containers. By mandating these specialized receptacles, the bill aims to enhance public safety in transportation facilities by reducing potential risks from explosive devices hidden in trash containers.
