Bill > A09307

This bill requires all new and used motor vehicles sold at motor vehicle dealerships to include a spare tire, specifically mandating at least a "donut tire," which is a temporary, smaller-sized spare tire designed for limited use at reduced speeds. The bill stipulates that the spare tire must be compatible with the vehicle being sold and must be properly secured in a way that prevents damage to the vehicle. By adding this requirement to the New York general business law, the legislation aims to ensure that vehicle buyers have a backup tire option in case of a flat or other tire-related emergency, potentially improving driver safety and preparedness. The law would take effect immediately upon passage, applying to both new and used vehicle sales at dealerships in the state.
