GOLDEN, SEPULVEDA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to taxi and limousine services equipped with wheelchair accessible vehicles THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that the public health, safety and welfare of New Yorkers who use wheel- chairs traveling to, from and within the city of New York is a matter of substantial state concern, including access to safe and reliable mass transportation such as for-hire-vehicles. The majority of residents and non-residents of the city of New York who use wheelchairs do not currently have efficient access to accessible for-hire-vehicles in the city of New York. The legislature finds and declares that is it a matter of public health, safety and welfare to ensure adequate and reliable accessible transportation to disabled individuals that use wheelchairs in the city of New York. Additionally, New York city has grappled with the issue of providing efficient for-hire-vehicle service to people who use wheelchairs for decades. Unfortunately, it efforts have proven an abject failure as its rules and regulations fail to comport with the business structure of the fore-hire-vehicle model. This failure has manifested itself in the inability to achieve equivalent services, as admitted by the TLC commissioner. This legislative initiative creates a system that has proven successful in other states in providing people who use wheelchairs with transportation. Moreover, this legislation uses a similar model to that the TLC has implemented for the yellow taxi system. § 2. The administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-548 to read as follows: § 19-548 FOR-HIRE ACCESSIBLE WHEELCHAIR TRANSPORTATION. A. THE NEW YORK CITY TAXI AND LIMOUSINE COMMISSION IS AUTHORIZED TO PROMULGATE SUCH EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
