Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to ordinances to regulate taxicabs, limousines, livery and transportation network company vehicles

Purpose

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

Summary of provisions

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

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, 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 same local licensing and safety standards as taxis. This technical correction will make it clear that cities, towns and villages have authority to regulate limousines and livery vehicles as was intended.
