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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 10 of section 375 of the vehicle and traffic
 2 law is amended by adding a new paragraph g to read as follows:
 3 g. It shall be unlawful to operate on any public highway in this state
 4 a motor vehicle registered in this state with a gross vehicle weight of
 5 ten thousand pounds or less, manufactured or assembled after July first,
 6 two thousand twenty-seven unless such motor vehicle is equipped with a
 7 functioning system that can detect the presence of an occupant in a rear
 8 seat by identifying that a seat belt is latched and that the weight on
 9 the seat is over twenty pounds after the vehicle engine or motor is
 10 deactivated and provide a warning. For the purposes of this paragraph,
 11 "motor vehicle" shall not include a motorcycle, a commercial motor vehi-
 12 cle as defined in section two of the transportation law, or combination
 13 of a commercial motor vehicle and trailer.
 14 § 2. This act shall be deemed repealed if any federal agency or any
 15 court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that this act would
 16 render New York state out of compliance with federal law or regulation.
 17 § 3. This act shall take effect one hundred eighty days after it shall
 18 have become a law; provided that the commissioner of motor vehicles
 19 shall notify the legislative bill drafting commission upon the occur-
 20 rence of the provisions of section two of this act in order that the
 21 commission may maintain an accurate and timely effective data base of
 22 the official text of the laws of the state of New York in furtherance of
 23 effectuating the provisions of section 44 of the legislative law and
 24 section 70-b of the public officers law. Effective immediately, the
 25 addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
 26 for the implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized
 27 to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
