Bill > A04599

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to increase the maximum fine for standard parking violations from fifty dollars to one hundred dollars. The legislation maintains existing exceptions for certain types of parking violations, such as those in cities with populations over one million and handicapped parking violations, which have their own specific fine structures. Specifically, the bill modifies the penalty schedule to allow municipalities to impose fines up to one hundred dollars for most parking violations, while preserving separate fine limits for specific contexts like handicapped parking (which can be up to one hundred fifty dollars) and overnight parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas in large cities. The bill reflects a standard legislative approach to adjusting monetary penalties to account for inflation or to provide municipalities with more flexibility in enforcing parking regulations. The amendment will take effect immediately upon enactment.
