BILL NUMBER:S7296A
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law and the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the regulation of limousines and livery vehicles in the city of Syracuse
Purpose
This bill gives the City of Syracuse the clear authority to regulate limousines and livery vehicles in the City.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Amends Section 181(1) of the General Municipal Law to add language to provide the City of Syracuse clear authority to regulate limousines and livery vehicles.
Section 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 in their jurisdictions. Cities are now having issues with livery vehicles acting as unregulated taxis that don't have to meet the same local licensing and safety standards as taxis. This is becoming a problem in the City of Syracuse. The current law does not give cities clear authority to regulate limousines and livery vehicles. This legislation provides that authority to the City of Syracuse.
