BILL NUMBER:A9140 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to licensing jurisdictions PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation would designate Suffolk County as a licensing jurisdiction in order to allow for pre-ar- ranged pickups and drop-offs within New York City. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Paragraph b of subdivision 1 of section 498 of the vehicle and traffic law, as added by chapter 549 of the laws of 2006, is amended to include Suffolk County as a "Licensing Jurisdic- tion". JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 549 of the laws of 2006 requires any taxi or limousine company to be licensed with the City of New York, in order to pre-arrange pick-ups and drop-offs in New York City. Licensing requires that companies meet strict criteria, including a ten-fleet minimum. Current law puts smaller limousine and taxi companies in neighboring counties at a disadvantage, as they are unable to schedule pre-arranged trips to New York City. This legislation would provide remedy for the small companies, by allow- ing Suffolk County to serve as a licensing jurisdiction, and establish its own set of standards.
