 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Consumer Protection

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring navi-
 gation systems utilizing GPS technology to identify the height of any
 bridge or overpass along a proposed route

 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
 2 390-f to read as follows:
 3 § 390-f. Global positioning system navigation. 1. No electronic map or
 4 navigation system which utilizes global positioning system (GPS) tech-
 5 nology to direct the driver of a motor vehicle to a specified destina-
 6 tion along a proposed route or routes shall be offered for use or sale
 7 in this state unless such map or navigation system provides the legal
 8 clearance of each bridge or elevated structure along a proposed route
 9 generated in response to a request or information provided by a user.
 10 For the purposes of this section, the term "legal clearance" shall have
 11 the same meaning as such term is used in title eight of the vehicle and
 12 traffic law requiring signs with such legal clearance to be posted at
 13 all bridges and elevated structures on highways under the jurisdiction
 14 of the department of transportation, other state authorities, county
 15 superintendents of highways, towns, cities and villages.
 16 2. No electronic map or navigation system shall be in violation of
 17 this section, provided that such electronic map or navigation system
 18 includes accurate and updated legal clearance information to the great-
 19 est extent practicable and instruction, through terms of service or
 20 elsewhere on the map or system, that the driver or user shall be respon-
 21 sible for such driver or user's vehicle complying with all vehicle
 22 height and weight restrictions or all laws of the road.
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 24 it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
