Bill > A08842

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to exclude certain bus operation-related traffic regulation violations in specific large cooperative housing developments. Specifically, the bill exempts violations occurring on roadways within a cooperative housing development that contains Mitchell-Lama housing and has no fewer than ten thousand units from certain standing and parking restrictions. Mitchell-Lama housing refers to a New York State affordable housing program created in 1955 to provide middle-income housing. The bill modifies existing rules that prohibit standing in bus stops, bicycle lanes, and bus lanes, effectively creating a narrow exception for this particular type of large cooperative housing complex. The amendment will take effect 90 days after becoming law, and the changes will be considered repealed when the underlying section of law is set to expire.
