Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requiring businesses that provide delivery services provide markings on both their motor vehicles and drivers that identify them as such

AI Summary

This bill requires businesses (defined as carriers) that provide delivery services to clearly mark their vehicles and drivers for identification purposes. Specifically, vehicles must display either a graphic associated with the carrier, text lettering of the carrier's name at least four inches high, or a white sign stating "delivery vehicle" on both side panels. Drivers must wear either a uniform from their employer, a clearly visible badge issued by their employer, or a neon vest with the text "package carrier" at least four inches high. The law applies only to carriers with more than 100 employees and imposes a fine of up to $1,000 per violation for non-compliance. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles to prepare necessary regulations in advance. The intent appears to be increasing visibility and accountability for delivery service vehicles and personnel, potentially improving public safety and helping identify legitimate delivery workers.
