  commissioner  of transportation to immobilize or impound limousines in
  certain situations

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

  Section  1. Subdivision 2 of section 145 of the transportation law, as
added by chapter 635 of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as follows:

initiative  without  complaint  institute proceedings to revoke, cancel,
suspend or modify any certificate or  permit  issued  pursuant  to  this
chapter  after  a  hearing  at  which  the holder of such certificate or
permit and any person making such complaint shall be given  an  opportu-

revoking, cancelling, suspending or modifying any certificate or  permit

thereof  upon  the  holder  of  such  certificate  or permit, unless the
commissioner determines that the continued holding of  such  certificate
