 Introduced by Sen. STAVISKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to prohibiting
 smoking tobacco in motor vehicles where a minor is a passenger

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

 1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 1229-e to read as follows:
 3 § 1229-e. Smoking in motor vehicles. 1. Smoking in a motor vehicle
 4 located upon a public highway or right-of-way public highway where a
 5 minor under eighteen years of age is a passenger is prohibited. Any
 6 operator or passenger twenty-one years of age or older violating this
 7 section shall be guilty of a traffic infraction.
 8 2. A person who holds a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other
 9 matter or substance which contains tobacco to, or in the immediate prox-
 10 imity of their mouth, while in such vehicle is presumed to be engaging
 11 in smoking within the meaning of this section. The presumption estab-
 12 lished by this subdivision is rebuttable by evidence showing that the
 13 person was not smoking a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or other matter
 14 or substance which contains tobacco.
 15 3. For purposes of this section "smoking" means the burning of a
 16 lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other matter or substance which
 17 contains tobacco.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
 19 it shall have become a law.

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