Bill > S07785

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to exclude certain bus operation-related traffic regulation violations from enforcement in cooperative housing developments that contain Mitchell-Lama housing with at least 10,000 units. Specifically, the bill modifies existing rules about no standing zones, focusing on violations at bus stops within these large cooperative housing developments. Mitchell-Lama housing refers to a New York State affordable housing program that provides low to moderate-income residents with housing at below-market rates. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, and the amendment is designed to be temporary, aligning with the existing sunset provision of the original section of law. The practical effect is that bus-related traffic violations like improper standing or parking in bus stops within qualifying large cooperative housing developments will not be subject to the standard traffic regulations that would normally apply in other areas of New York City.
