 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. TEDISCO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to speed limits
 on state highways

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision (a) of section 1620 of the vehicle and traffic
 2 law, as amended by chapter 563 of the laws of 2002, is amended to read
 3 as follows:
 4 (a) The department of transportation with respect to state highways
 5 maintained by the state outside of cities having a population in excess
 6 of one million, and highways on Indian reservations, may by order, rule
 7 or regulation establish higher or lower maximum speed limits at which
 8 vehicles may proceed on or along such highways than the fifty-five miles
 9 per hour statutory maximum speed limit. Such maximum speed limit may be
 10 established pursuant to an engineering and/or traffic investigation
 11 authorized or performed by the department of transportation or the muni-
 12 cipality within which the section of state highway subject to such maxi-
 13 mum speed limit is located. No such maximum speed limit shall be estab-
 14 lished at less than twenty-five miles per hour, except that school speed
 15 limits may be established at not less than fifteen miles per hour, for a
 16 distance not to exceed one thousand three hundred twenty feet, on a
 17 highway passing a school building, entrance or exit of a school abutting
 18 on the highway. Absence of signs installed pursuant to this section
 19 shall be presumptive evidence that the department of transportation has
 20 not established a higher maximum speed limit than the fifty-five miles
 21 per hour statutory limit.
 22 § 2. Subdivision (a) of section 1624 of the vehicle and traffic law,
 23 as amended by chapter 420 of the laws of 1968, is amended to read as
 24 follows:

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

 17 shall not be subject to any such maximum speed limit established by such
 18 city, village or suburban town.
