New Ice Cream Truck Law
Albany, NY - Governor Pataki signed into law a new measure designed to protect children around ice cream trucks.
The new law requires ice cream trucks to be outfitted with an eight-foot mechanical arm that extends from the front of the truck when it is stopped, similar to what school buses are required to have. The new law takes effect in March.
The law was introduced after the September 2003 death of a nine-year-old Monsey girl who was killed after buying ice cream. While crossing the street, she was hit by an on-coming vehicle.

what kinda stupid law are they going to pass next? if g/forbid a child runs out in front of a car & gets hit, are they going to ban all car drivers now? what about parents' responsibility? if they're too drugged up or drunk to watch their kids they shouldn't be having them.

The legislation, signed by the governor, was sparked following the death of a nine-year-old Monsey girl, Sara Shucht, in September of 2003
