                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6680

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the general municipal law, in
relation to the local regulation of transportation network companies
in the county of Nassau; to amend the tax law, in relation to imposing
a fifty cent per TNC prearranged trip in Nassau county; and to amend
the state finance law, in relation to establishing the NICE transit
assistance fund

 PURPOSE :

To require Nassau County to allow transportation network companies and
to provide a fifty cent per ride fee on transportation network
companies in Nassau County which shall be put into a fund to provide
the NICE transit system with assistance. .

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section one amends § 182 of the General Municipal Law to provide that
Nassau counties may not prohibit the pick-up of any persons by a
transportation network company.

Section two amends section 1292 of the tax law to include, in addition
to any other tax, fee or surcharge imposed, a ENC assessment fee of
fifty cents per TNC rearranged trip that originates in the county of
Nassau and terminates anywhere else in the state.

Sections 3 and 4 amends section 1298 of the tax law and section 89-I
of the state finance law to have such funds collected and deposited
into a NICE Transit assistance fund. Such funds shall, following
appropriation by the legislature, be distributed to the county of
Nassau or its subgrantees for the operating expenses thereof incurred
for public transportation services and shall only be used to fund
public transportation systems eligible to receive operating assistance
under the transportation law.

Section 5 provides and effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

As a part of the SFY 2017-18 budget, ride sharing or transportation
network companies like Uber and Lyft, were given authority to operate
throughout the state. Nassau County and its residents will benefit
greatly from the expansion of riding sharing and the opportunity
should not be stymied. As a county contiguous to NYC, which already
relies heavily on ride sharing, it is important that this extend to
all residents of Nassau County. However it should not happen at the
expense of existing public transit.

This legislation provides Nassau County with a fifty cent per ride fee
for every trip that originates in the County. Those funds would be
deposited into a newly created fund called the NICE transit assistance
fund. The fund would then be made available for operating expenses to
public transit systems in the County.

Creating funding and a fund to help maintain the vital services of
Nassau's public transit system, while ensuring that ride sharing
becomes a reality for the many residents who wish to avail themselves
of this very versatile and convenient form of transit is a win win.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as
part AAA of chapter 59 of the laws of 2017, takes effect.
