Bill > S07093

This bill requires individuals with a driver's license or permit who have been medically diagnosed with a seizure to report that diagnosis to the New York State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles within 60 days of the diagnosis. The bill amends Section 502 of the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new subdivision that mandates the commissioner to create rules and regulations for this reporting requirement. The purpose of this reporting requirement is likely to enhance road safety by ensuring that drivers with medical conditions that could potentially impair their ability to drive safely are identified and evaluated. The bill will go into effect 90 days after becoming law, and during this period, the relevant regulatory bodies are authorized to prepare the necessary rules and regulations to implement the new reporting mandate.
