     1    Section  1. Section 398-d of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by
     2  adding a new subdivision 8 to read as follows:
     3    8. No motor vehicle repair shop shall repair a tire if such  tire  has
     4  exposed  ply  or cord; a bulge, knot or separation in either sidewall or
     5  tread area; tread wear indicators flush with the tread outer surface  in
     6  any two or more adjacent tread grooves at three locations equally spaced
     7  around  the  circumference of the tire; or other material damage or wear
     8  that renders such tire patently unsafe. This section  shall  not  impose
     9  any  liability  on  a repair shop that makes a reasonable and good faith
    10  determination that  the  tire,  upon  repair,  would  comply  with  this
    11  section.
    12    §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
    13  have become a law.
