2006 New York Code - Scope Of Subchapter; Definitions.

 
    §  27-4214  Scope of subchapter; definitions. a. (1) "Safety film", as
  defined in this section, creates a much lower fire and  toxicity  hazard
  than flammable motion picture film, as defined in section 27-4202 of the
  code.   In  order  to  separate  the  regulation,  under  the  code,  of
  establishments which handle safety film exclusively from the  regulation
  of  establishments  which  handle inflammable motion picture film, it is
  considered desirable to establish this separate subchapter.
    (2) The definitions and regulatory provisions within  this  subchapter
  shall  apply  only  to  those  establishments  which  handle safety film
  exclusively, notwithstanding any other provisions in this chapter to the
  contrary.
