        Introduced by M. of A. E. BROWN -- read once and referred to the Commit-

        AN  ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring that
          all new motor vehicles sold at new motor vehicle dealerships contain a
          spare tire

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

     1    Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
     2  396-pp to read as follows:
     3    §  396-pp.  Spare  tire requirement. 1. All new motor vehicles sold at
     4  new motor vehicle dealerships shall include a spare tire, whether or not
     5  equipped with standard radial or run-flat tires.
     6    2. For the purposes of this section, a run-flat tire  is  a  pneumatic
     7  vehicle tire designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured,
     8  allowing  the  vehicle  to  continue  to be driven at reduced speeds for
     9  limited distances, but cannot replace a spare  tire  for  safety  and  a
    10  longer than expected journey to a repair shop.
    11    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
