The newest amendment to the Move Over Law (which requires motorists to change lanes, and/or slowing down when encountering an emergency vehicle) will now apply to garbage trucks. The law goes into effect on Tuesday.

Implementation of the law comes almost a year after a fatal accident involving an employee of Taylor Garbage in Vestal, NY. 

The law carries fines ranging from $45 - $100, and potentially 15 days in jail.
