Bill > S06876

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to impose a $1,000 fine on the owner or person legally responsible for a trailer or semitrailer that is parked or left unattended on a city street in a municipality with a population of one million or more (which effectively means New York City). The bill provides an important exception: if the trailer or semitrailer is connected to a state-sanctioned film or television production, the owner will not be subject to the fine. Previously, the law only authorized the removal of such unattached trailers or semitrailers to a safe location, but did not specify a financial penalty. The new provision gives law enforcement and municipal officials a clear mechanism to discourage the abandonment of trailers on city streets by imposing a significant monetary consequence, while also recognizing the unique needs of the entertainment production industry by creating a specific exemption for film and TV shoots.
