 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to missing or

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as

 5 f. (1) No motor vehicle, which has been manufactured on or after
 6 September first, nineteen hundred ninety-seven, shall be sold by an
 7 automobile auctioneer, retail dealer or individual seller unless they
 8 have disclosed to the buyer whether the vehicle is missing an inflatable
 9 restraint system or contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint
 10 system. If the vehicle is missing an inflatable restraint system or
 11 contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint system the disclosure of
 12 the status of the vehicle's inflatable restraint system shall be made by
 13 the auctioneer, retail dealer or individual seller: (i) in a written
 14 disclosure made in not less than ten-point bold face type and appearing
 15 on the front of the sales contract, receipt, invoice, or other document
 16 used in connection with the sale of the vehicle that shall set forth
 17 whether the vehicle is missing an inflatable restraint system or
 18 contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint system; and (ii) by
 19 affixing a conspicuous sign to the windshield of each vehicle offered
 20 for sale, sold or made available for inspection prior to auction that
 21 shall disclose that the vehicle either is missing an inflatable
 22 restraint system or contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint
 23 system.
 24 (2) Receipt of notice pursuant to this paragraph shall not in any way
 25 bar, preclude or foreclose any action for personal injury or wrongful
 26 death by or on behalf of any person, nor in any way diminish, reduce or
 27 be used to mitigate or diminish the damages recoverable in any such

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