New York A01892 mandates rear occupant alert systems in certain vehicles.

New York A01892 amends the vehicle and traffic law to require rear occupant alert systems in new passenger motor vehicles weighing less than 10,000 pounds. These systems must alert operators to check rear seating positions after the vehicle engine is deactivated. The law takes effect immediately but will be repealed if it makes New York ineligible for federal funds or is deemed noncompliant with federal law.
