Bill > A01994

This bill modifies the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law regarding parking violations by changing how incomplete or improperly documented parking tickets are handled. Specifically, the bill removes the previous requirement that a person charged with a parking violation must actively apply to have a ticket dismissed if the notice contains omitted, misdescribed, or illegible information. Under the new language, such tickets would be automatically dismissed if they are found to have significant documentation problems. This change appears to provide more automatic protection for individuals who receive parking tickets with technical errors, potentially reducing the administrative burden on people who might otherwise need to formally challenge such tickets. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law and will apply to parking violation notices issued on or after that date, giving local authorities and parking enforcement time to adjust to the new requirement.
