        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to  non-divisi-
          ble  load  permits;  providing  for the repeal of such provisions upon
          expiration thereof
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 15 of section 385 of the vehi-
     2  cle  and traffic law, as amended by section 3 of part C of chapter 59 of
     3  the laws of 2004, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (d) (i) Except during storms, floods, fires or other  public  emergen-
     5  cies, no such permit may be issued to include a towing operation involv-
     6  ing  more than two vehicles except three vehicle combinations consisting
     7  of a tractor, semitrailer and trailer or  a  tractor  and  two  trailers
     8  within  legal weight and width limits proceeding to or from any qualify-
     9  ing highway or access highway. Every such permit may designate the route
    10  to be traversed and contain any other restrictions or conditions  deemed
    11  necessary  by  the issuing authority. Every such permit shall be carried
    12  on the vehicle to which it refers and shall be open to the inspection of
    13  any peace officer, acting pursuant to  his  special  duties,  or  police
    14  officer,  or  any  other  officer or employee authorized to enforce this
    15  section. All permits issued shall be revocable by the authority  issuing
    16  them  at the discretion of the authority without a hearing or the neces-
    17  sity of showing cause. Except for  a  vehicle  having  a  maximum  gross
    18  weight  not  exceeding eighty thousand pounds without regard to any axle
    19  weight limitation set forth herein or the maximum  gross  weight  estab-
    20  lished  by the formula commonly referred to as the bridge formula as set
    21  forth in subdivision ten of this section and except for state or munici-
    22  pally-owned single vehicles engaged in snow and ice control  operations,
    23  or  designed or fitted for snow and ice control operations while engaged
    24  in other public works operations on public highways which do not  exceed

     2  no permit shall be issued to allow operation or movement of any  vehicle
     3  or  combination  of vehicles whose weight exceeds the limitations other-
     4  wise  prescribed  in  this  section  other  than an annual permit issued
     5  pursuant to paragraph (f) of this subdivision except upon a  finding  by
     6  the  department  of  transportation or the appropriate authority, as the
     7  case may be, that the load proposed is of one piece or item or otherwise
     8  cannot be separated into units of less weight  provided,  however,  that
     9  any  such  permit  issued  upon  such finding shall not be valid for the
    10  operation or movement of such vehicles on any  state  or  other  highway
    11  within any city not wholly included within one county except as provided
    12  in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph.
    13    (ii)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (i) of this para-
    14  graph and paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subdivision  to  the  contrary,
    15  the department of transportation may issue such permit for the operation
    16  or  movement  of  any  vehicle  or combination of vehicles on any of the
    17  following portions of state or other highways within any city not wholly
    18  included within one county, and such vehicles or combination of vehicles
    19  may operate or move on such portions, and only on such portions, of such
    20  state or other highways within such city without a permit issued by  the
    21  department  of  transportation  of such city: that portion of interstate
    22  ninety-five between the Bronx-Westchester county line and interstate six

    30  finding by such department that the load proposed is  of  one  piece  or
    31  item or otherwise cannot be separated into units of less weight; (2) the
    32  approval of such city; and (3) with respect to bridges and highways over
    33  which  any  authority  has jurisdiction, the approval of such authority.
    34  Any such vehicle or combination of vehicles operating pursuant  to  such
    35  permit shall not exit the aforementioned highways under its own power in
    36  any such city not wholly included within one county.
    37    [Bulk]  (iii)  For  the  purposes  of this paragraph, bulk milk may be
    38  considered one piece or item.
    39    § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
    40  it shall have become a law, and shall expire and be deemed repealed four
    41  years after it shall take effect.
