AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to airbag safe-
  ty; and to repeal paragraph (e) of subdivision 6 of section  398-d  of
  such law relating to the replacement of inflatable restraint systems

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative  intent.  The  legislature  finds  that  airbag
system  fraud is a public safety concern for both consumers and the auto
insurance industry and that efforts to  address  this  serious  risk  to
consumers  have been piecemeal, rather than coordinate, and that compre-
hensive coordinated legislation is necessary to  protect  consumers  and
insure the integrity of vehicle restraint systems.
  S  2.  Paragraph  (e) of subdivision 6 of section 398-d of the vehicle
and traffic law is REPEALED.
  S 3. Section 415-c of the vehicle and traffic law, as added by chapter
161 of the laws of 1996, subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 78  of  the
laws of 1998, and subdivisions 1 and 2 as further amended by section 104
of  part  A  of  chapter  62  of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as
follows:
  S 415-c. [Sale] TRACKING of salvaged  inflatable  restraint  systems[;
restrictions.  1].  On and after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-
seven, prior to offering any salvaged inflatable  restraint  system  for
sale,  such  salvaged inflatable restraint system part [indentification]

cle from which the salvaged inflatable restraint system was taken, shall
be referred to a nationally recognized theft index  bureau  approved  by
the  commissioner,  in consultation with the superintendent of financial
services, for the purposes of determining prior to sale that neither the
salvaged inflatable restraint system nor the motor  vehicle  [were]  WAS
stolen,  as  determined  at the time of inquiry. The sales invoice shall
state the date and the result of the inquiry to such theft index bureau.
  [2. On and after March first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine,  prior  to
offering any salvaged inflatable restraint system for sale such salvaged
