 BILL NUMBER:  A3633

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to establish the teen driver safety
commission and providing for its powers and duties; and providing for
the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof

 PURPOSE :
Creates the Teen Driver Safety Commission

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1. Legislative Declaration. Section 2. Teen Driver Safety
Commission. Section 3. This act shall take effect immediately and
shall remain in effect until the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law, when upon such date the provisions of this
act shall be deemed repealed.

 JUSTIFICATION :
Due to the findings that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause
of death for teens, and the risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher
among 16 to 19 year olds than among any other age group, it is
necessary to create a teen driver safety commission to study, evaluate
and assess these problems further. Among the issues the Teen Driver
Safety Commission will study, examine, and review are; the
availability and effectiveness of driver education and training
programs in the state, as well as a selection of driver education and
training programs offered throughout the United States. They will also
survey and assess the problems of driving under the influence and
aggressive driving among teens, review the impact of distracting
behaviors while driving, and determine the type of motor vehicle
violations that are most often associated with accidents involving
teen drivers. In addition, the commission will analyze and provide
measures that may mitigate the risks associated with the operation of
motor vehicles by teen drivers. The commission will report all
findings and conclusions to both the governor and the legislature, so
they are better informed to proactively address the crucial issue of
teen driving safety in the state of New York.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
