BILL NUMBER:S4811 REVISED 5/2/13
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.
