Bill > S05174

This bill amends the administrative code of New York City to require the commissioner of transportation to increase the number of licenses for tow truck operators in cities with a population of one million or more by 30% by December 31, 2025. The bill specifically modifies an existing section of the city's administrative code that governs the removal of disabled vehicles on highways, adding a new subsection that mandates the license expansion. Currently, tow truck operators must obtain authorization from the transportation or police commissioner to remove disabled vehicles from highways, parkways, expressways, and other designated routes, and this bill aims to increase the number of operators who can legally perform such removals. By expanding the number of licensed tow truck operators, the bill seeks to potentially improve vehicle removal services and efficiency in large urban areas like New York City.
