AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the  city  of  New  York,  in
  relation  to  allowing  commuter vans to accept hails from prospective
  passengers in the street; and to repeal certain provisions of such law
  relating thereto

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Subdivision p of section 19-502 of the administrative code
of the city of New York, as amended by local law number 37 of  the  city
of New York for the year 2019, is amended to read as follows:
  p. "Commuter van" means a commuter van service having a seating capac-
ity  of  at least nine passengers but not more than twenty passengers or
such greater capacity as the commission may establish by rule and carry-
ing passengers for hire in the city duly licensed as a commuter  van  by
the  commission  [and  not  permitted  to  accept hails from prospective
passengers in the street]. For purposes of the provisions of this  chap-
ter  relating  to  prohibitions against the operation of an unauthorized
commuter van service or an unlicensed commuter van, the  enforcement  of
such prohibitions and the imposition of penalties for violations of such
prohibitions  and  to  the  seizure and forfeiture of commuter vans, the
term shall also include any common carrier of passengers by motor  vehi-
cle  not  subject to licensure as a taxicab, for-hire vehicle, or wheel-
chair accessible van and not operating as a public or private bus trans-
it service operated pursuant to a contract with  the  city,  any  county
within  the  state of New York, the state of New York or any other state
or local government that follows the applicable  procurement  rules  and
regulations  of  such jurisdiction regardless of the seating capacity of
any such vehicle. The commission shall submit to the council the text of
any proposed rule relating to the maximum capacity of commuter  vans  at
the time such proposed rule is published in the City Record.
