 AN ACT establishing the "COVID-19 livery recovery act"
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "COVID-19 livery recovery act".
   § 2. Notwithstanding any local law to the contrary, the local taxi and
 limousine commission of any city with a population  of  one  million  or
 more which is enforcing a cap on for-hire vehicle licenses shall issue a
 limited number of for-hire vehicle licenses regardless of such cap. Such
 for-hire  vehicle  licenses  shall  be  referred  to as "livery recovery
 licenses" and shall be issued for the exclusive purpose  of  affiliating
 additional independent livery drivers with local livery bases.
   § 3. The total number of such livery recovery licenses to be issued by
 the local taxi and limousine commission shall be equal to the difference
 between  the  number  of  for-hire vehicle licenses that were affiliated
 with all local livery bases, on a per-livery-base basis, as of  February
 28, 2020, and the number of for-hire vehicle licenses that remain affil-
 iated  with  all  such  livery  bases, on a per-livery-base basis, as of
 April 30, 2022.
   § 4. An applicant who receives such a  livery  recovery  license  must
 affiliate  with a livery base which saw a reduction in the number of its
 affiliated drivers after February 28, 2020,  and  which  has  not  fully
 recouped the number of its affiliated drivers to such amount.
   §  5.  All  livery  recovery licensees shall be limited to affiliating
 only with a local livery base until the elimination of the local cap  on
 for-hire vehicle licenses, at which time such limitation expires and the
 livery  recovery  license  shall  be considered to be a for-hire vehicle
 license for all purposes under local law or regulation.
   § 6. For purposes of this act, "for-hire vehicle driver", "independent
 livery drivers", "license", "licensee", "livery base" and "livery" shall
 mean the same as defined by local law or regulation.
   § 7. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth  day  after  it  shall
 have become a law.
