 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  administrative code of the city of New York, in
   relation to allowing commuter vans to accept  hails  from  prospective
   passengers in the street; and to repeal certain provisions of such law
   relating thereto

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision p of section 19-502 of the administrative  code
 of  the  city of New York, as amended by local law number 37 of the city
 of New York for the year 2019, is amended to read as follows:
   p. "Commuter van" means a commuter van service having a seating capac-
 ity of at least nine passengers but not more than twenty  passengers  or
 such greater capacity as the commission may establish by rule and carry-
 ing  passengers  for hire in the city duly licensed as a commuter van by
 the commission [and not  permitted  to  accept  hails  from  prospective
 passengers  in the street]. For purposes of the provisions of this chap-
 ter relating to prohibitions against the operation  of  an  unauthorized
 commuter  van  service or an unlicensed commuter van, the enforcement of
 such prohibitions and the imposition of penalties for violations of such
 prohibitions and to the seizure and forfeiture  of  commuter  vans,  the
 term  shall also include any common carrier of passengers by motor vehi-
 cle not subject to licensure as a taxicab, for-hire vehicle,  or  wheel-
 chair accessible van and not operating as a public or private bus trans-
 it  service  operated  pursuant  to a contract with the city, any county
 within the state of New York, the state of New York or any  other  state
 or  local  government  that follows the applicable procurement rules and
 regulations of such jurisdiction regardless of the seating  capacity  of
 any such vehicle. The commission shall submit to the council the text of
 any  proposed  rule relating to the maximum capacity of commuter vans at
 the time such proposed rule is published in the City Record.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
