 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to prohibition
 of radar detectors

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

 1 Section 1. Section 397-a of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 2-a to read as follows:
 3 2-a. It shall be unlawful to operate upon any public highway in this
 4 state a motor vehicle which is equipped with a radar detector or laser
 5 detector commonly known as a phazer II device. The presence in such
 6 vehicle of a phazer II device connected to a power source and in an
 7 operable condition is presumptive evidence of its use by any person
 8 operating such vehicle. Such presumption shall be rebutted by any credi-
 9 ble and reliable evidence which tends to show that such device was not
 10 in use.
 11 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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