 4 every truck, tractor, and tractor-trailer or semitrailer combination
 5 registered in this state having a gross vehicle weight rating of twen-

 10 having a population of one million or more on highways other than cont-
 11 rolled-access highways, shall be equipped with side under-ride guards
 12 affixed to the sides of such vehicles in a manner consistent with rules
 13 and regulations that shall be promulgated by the commissioner, in
 14 consultation with the commissioner of transportation. For the purposes
 15 of this section, "side under-ride guard" shall mean a device fit

 19 from sliding under such vehicles. The provisions of this subdivision do
 20 not apply to trucks, tractors, and tractor-trailer or semitrailer combi-
 21 nations in the state fleet or city fleet or in any city contracted vehi-
 22 cle, as defined by section 6-141 of the administrative code of the city
 23 of New York. The commissioner shall be authorized to promulgate any
