Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the no fare program for transportation on the Long Island Rail Road for certain detective investigators or rackets investigators
AI Summary
This bill expands the existing "no fare" program for the Long Island Rail Road, which allows certain law enforcement and public safety personnel to ride for free, to include "detective investigators" or "rackets investigators" employed by the district attorney's office in Nassau County, Suffolk County, or New York City. This means these specific types of investigators, who are involved in investigating crimes, will now be eligible for free transportation on the Long Island Rail Road, similar to other police officers and transit authority employees already covered by the program. The bill aims to enhance commuter safety by having these investigators potentially available on trains.
