BILL NUMBER: S3083 SPONSOR: LANZA TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the penalty for unlawfully fleeing a uniformed officer of the New York city taxi and limousine commission SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The proposed legislation would amend subdivision 1 of section 19-506 of the Administrative Code to broaden the misdemeanor crime of fleeing so that it applies to any driver of a vehicle licensed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission ("TLC") who flees or attempts to flee when stopped by a police officer or by a TLC uniformed officer. JUSTIFICATION: Frequently, when a uniformed TLC inspector attempts to stop a vehicle engaged in for-hire transportation for an observed or suspected violation of law, the driver of the vehicle simply flees the scene.
