 Introduced by M. of A. MAGNARELLI -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requiring
 the department of transportation to provide a list of legal clearance
 heights for bridges to certain drivers

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision (c) of section 1621 of the vehicle and traffic
 2 law, as amended by chapter 420 of the laws of 1968, is amended to read
 3 as follows:
 4 (c) Such department of transportation shall cause signs to be erected
 5 to inform persons of the legal overhead clearance for all bridges and
 6 elevated structures on highways under its jurisdiction. The legal clear-
 7 ance shall be one foot less than the measured clearance. The measured
 8 clearance shall be the minimum height to the bridge or structure meas-
 9 ured vertically from the traveled portion of the roadway. On bridges or
 10 structures having fourteen feet or more of measured clearance, no such
 11 signs shall be required. The department of transportation shall cause
 12 to inform and furnish to an owner or operator of trucks, commercial
 13 vehicles, tractors, tractor-trailer combinations, tractor-semitrailer
 14 combinations, or tractor-trailer-semitrailer combinations a list of each
 15 legal clearance height for all bridges and elevated structures on high-
 16 ways under its jurisdiction.
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of June next succeeding
 18 the date on which it shall have become a law.
