NEW YORK (WCBS) A Rockland County family hopes Gov. Andrew Cuomo will sign a law banning the sale of used cars if the airbags are missing or don’t work.
Their effort is partly because the bill honors their son, but mostly because they believe it will save lives, CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported Monday.
His picture is on mom’s pendant and on dad’s tie, and now his name is on a bill sitting on the governor’s desk.

A new bill on its way to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk will require that used cars for sale have working airbags.
Its been eight years since Anthony Amoros, of Pomona, lost his life in a car crash.
The 18-year-old unknowingly bought a used car without air bags, which his parents believe would have saved him. He hit the windshield and there was nothing coming back, so the blunt of the impact – he took it all on the head, says his father, Al Amoros.
