BILL NUMBER: S8376

SPONSOR: KENNEDY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend chapter 3 of the laws of 2020 relating to establishing
the stretch limousine passenger safety task force, in relation to
extending the provisions thereof

 
PURPOSE:

Continues the Stretch Limousine Passenger Safety Task Force's operation
and extends its duties.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This legislation extends the Stretch Limousine Passenger Safety Task
Force's operations by extending the duration of the task force from May
31, 2023 to December 31, 2025, and directs the Task Force to continue to
hold whatever public hearings and meetings are necessary to review the
State's implementations of the original Task Force report that was
released in October 2022. The task force will provide recommendations

and an updated report on its findings by April 15, 2025.

 
EXISTING LAW:

2020: Underlying Chapter (No. 177).

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The legislation extends the duties of the Stretch Limousine Passenger
Safety Task Force, which was established by Chapter 3 of the Laws of
2020 to study a host of safety improvements for stretch limousines.  The
Task Force was created in the wake of deadly crashes in Schoharie and
Cutchogue, NY.

Stretch limousines are the vehicle of choice for celebratory occasions,
from family events, to birthdays, to weddings, to the annual ritual of
prom. But they also present unique challenges that implicate the safety
of drivers and passengers alike.

As with any area where multiple state agencies must collaborate, period-
ic review of inter-agency and external communication is critical to
ensure passenger safety. Continuing the task force will allow for a
review of the effectiveness of the actions implemented by the state in
response to the 2022 safety report and provide feedback on what further
changes, if any, are necessary.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S.13691 A.6922 2023 - Veto Memo 68

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have
become a law and shall expire and be deemed repealed December 31, 2025.
