Bill > S05768

This bill authorizes the Seagate Police Department to receive special parking placards for their motor vehicles when officers are on official business. Specifically, the bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to allow peace officers from the Seagate Police Department to park in areas where parking is prohibited, but not where stopping or standing is prohibited. The bill requires the department to request these placards from the commissioner, who will issue distinctive placards with unique serial numbers. To obtain these placards, the department must prove its current membership status and pay an initial service charge. The placards can only be used when officers are acting within their official duties as peace officers, as defined by section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law. The placards must be verified annually, ensuring ongoing compliance and proper use. This legislation provides a specific parking accommodation for the Seagate Police Department, recognizing the unique parking challenges law enforcement may face while performing their official duties.
