Bill > S05762

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to waive the central business district (CBD) toll for New York City sheriffs, undersheriffs, and deputy sheriffs when they are operating a vehicle in their official capacity. The CBD toll is a fee charged to vehicles entering the central business district of New York City, typically to manage traffic congestion and generate revenue. Under this proposed legislation, these law enforcement professionals would be exempt from paying this toll when they are performing their official duties. The bill ensures that sheriffs and their deputies will not incur personal expenses for tolls while conducting work-related activities within the central business district, which could include responding to calls, conducting investigations, or performing other official responsibilities. The amendment specifically states that no vehicle used by a New York City sheriff, undersheriff, or deputy sheriff will be charged a CBD toll when the individual is acting in their official capacity. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
