189.095 Brake linings, sale when not of approved type prohibited. (1) On and after January 1, 1967, it shall be unlawful to sell, or to display for sale, any brake lining unless of a type which has been submitted to the secretary of the
Transportation Cabinet for approval and for which a certificate of approval has been
issued by the secretary and is then in effect; provided, however, that no owner of a
motor vehicle shall be required to replace brake linings which were installed before
June 16, 1966 solely because such linings have not been approved in accordance
with the provisions of this section. (2) The secretary shall, in order to insure safe operation of motor vehicles, prescribe uniform specifications as to the stopping ability, pedal force, lining integrity,
stability, fade and recovery characteristic requirements of brake linings and shall
determine whether any brake lining submitted complies with such rules and uniform
standards; provided, however, that in order to promote uniformity between the
states and thereby avoid increased costs to the people of this state, due to the
necessity of complying with diverse requirements in the distribution and sale of
brake linings, the secretary is hereby authorized to adopt and maintain the standards
and specifications which are adopted by the several states pursuant to the
procedures of the Vehicle Equipment Safety Compact, or those of the Society of
Automotive Engineers, whichever in the discretion of the secretary will better
protect the safety of the people of this state. History: Created 1966 Ky. Acts ch. 113, secs. 1 and 2.
