1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 238 of the vehicle and traffic
2 law, as amended by chapter 224 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read
3 as follows:
4 2. A notice of violation shall be served personally upon the operator
5 of a motor vehicle who is present at the time of service, and his name,
6 together with the plate designation and the plate type as shown by the
7 registration plates of said vehicle and the expiration date; the make or
8 model, and body type of said vehicle; a description of the charged
9 violation, including but not limited to a reference to the applicable
10 traffic rule or provision of this chapter; information as to the days
11 and hours the applicable rule or provision of this chapter is in effect,
12 unless always in effect pursuant to rule or this chapter and where
13 appropriate the word ALL when the days and/or hours in effect are every-
14 day and/or twenty-four hours a day; the meter number for a meter
15 violation, where appropriate; [and] the date, time and particular place
16 of occurrence of the charged violation; and the printed name, signature
17 and badge number or other identifying number of the officer issuing such

21 of this subdivision. The notice of violation shall be served upon the
22 owner of the motor vehicle if the operator is not present, by affixing
23 such notice to said vehicle in a conspicuous place. Whenever such notice
24 is so affixed, in lieu of inserting the name of the person charged with
25 the violation in the space provided for the identification of said
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
