 Introduced  by M. of A. SOLAGES -- read once and referred to the Commit-
   tee on Transportation
 
 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to  authorizing
   the  village  of  Floral  Park  in the county of Nassau to establish a
   residential parking system
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
 a  lack  of  parking  for  residents  of certain areas of the village of
 Floral Park, Nassau county, has resulted in traffic hazards,  congestion
 and  air  and noise pollution. In addition, such lack of parking poses a
 hazard to residents and other pedestrians in such areas.
   The legislature further finds that a residential parking system within
 such areas would be in the  public  interest.  The  legislature  further
 finds  that  a  residential parking system within such areas will reduce
 such hazards and will reduce pollution levels as well. The  legislature,
 therefore,  hereby  declares  the necessity of this act to authorize the
 village of Floral Park to adopt a residential parking permit  system  in
 accordance with the provisions of this act.
   §  2.  The  vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
