 AN ACT to amend the transportation law,  in  relation  to  allowing  the
   commissioner  of transportation to immobilize or impound limousines in

   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:
   2. (A) The commissioner may upon complaint or upon the  commissioner's
 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-
 nity  to be heard. Provided, however, that any order of the commissioner
 revoking, cancelling, suspending or modifying any certificate or  permit
 shall not become effective until thirty days after the serving of notice
 thereof  upon  the  holder  of  such  certificate  or permit, unless the
 commissioner determines that the continued holding of  such  certificate
 or  permit  for  such  period  would be contrary to the public interest.
 Hearings shall be held in such manner and upon such  notice  as  may  be
 prescribed by rules of the commissioner, but such notice shall be of not
 less than ten days and shall state the nature of the complaint.
   (B)  THE  COMMISSIONER  MAY  TAKE  ACTIONS TO IMMOBILIZE OR IMPOUND AN
 ALTERED MOTOR VEHICLE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A STRETCH LIMOUSINE HAVING
 A SEATING CAPACITY OF NINE OR MORE PASSENGERS INCLUDING  THE  DRIVER  IF
 THE  STRETCH  LIMOUSINE  HAS  AN  OUT-OF-SERVICE  DEFECT OR HAS A DEFECT
 RELATED TO ITS HORN AND THE COMMISSIONER DETERMINES  THAT  ALLOWING  THE
 STRETCH  LIMOUSINE TO LEAVE THE INSPECTION AREA WOULD BE CONTRARY TO THE
 PUBLIC INTEREST. THE COMMISSIONER IS PERMITTED TO  CONTINUE  IMMOBILIZA-
 TION  OR  IMPOUNDMENT  OF  THE  STRETCH  LIMOUSINE  UNTIL SATISFIED THAT
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
