BILL NUMBER:S3538

TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to ordinances to regulate taxicabs, limousines and livery vehicles

PURPOSE:

To clarify section 181 of the General Municipal Law to ensure that cities towns and villages have the authority to regulate limousines and livery vehicles operating in their jurisdiction.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends Section 181 (1) of the General Municipal Law by adding the words "limousines and livery vehicles" in the appropriate places to clarify the statute.

Sections 2: Establishes the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

The State of New York enacted section 181 of the General Municipal Law to give cities, towns and villages the authority to regulate taxis, limousines and livery vehicles in their jurisdictions. Cities are now having issues with livery vehicles acting as unregulated taxis that don't have to meet the settle local licensing and safety standards as taxis. This technical correction will make clear that cities, towns and villages have authority to regulate limousines and livery vehicles as was intended.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S.4811 (2013-2014) / A. 7403 (2014-2014) passed Assembly

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
