Section 1. Notwithstanding any law, rules, or regulations to the
contrary, the commissioner of the Palisades park commission shall
promulgate rules and regulations necessary to implement a special-use
permit for certain commercial or oversized vehicles permitting such
vehicles to use the Palisades parkway for the limited purpose of trans-
porting students between Rockland county schools and New York city
schools. 1. The owner of such commercial or oversized vehicle may file
with the commissioner or any agent of the commissioner an application
for issuance of special-use permit for such vehicle. The application
shall be made on a form furnished by the commissioner for such purpose
and shall contain such information as the commissioner shall require. If
satisfied that the vehicle is to be operated as provided in this
section, the commissioner shall upon payment of a fee of ten dollars
assign to such vehicle a distinctive number and issue and deliver to the
applicant a special-use permit, in such form as the commissioner shall
prescribe, indicating where to display such permit in such vehicle, the
extent to which the vehicle covered by such permit may be operated on
the parkway, and such vehicle may be operated only as so indicated.
2. If a special-use permit is issued by a county clerk, acting as
agent of the commissioner, such county clerk shall be entitled to the
sum of thirty-five cents for each special-use permit issued, which sum
shall be deducted before remitting the fee for such special-use permit
to the commissioner.
