Bill > A10324

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to designate taxi and limousine inspectors as peace officers, granting them certain legal powers and responsibilities. Specifically, it removes taxi and limousine inspectors from a category of "New York city special patrolmen" who only have these powers when acting within their specific duties, and instead creates a new designation for them as peace officers with these powers regardless of whether they are acting within their special duties, though they will still need a proper license to carry a firearm. This change aims to clarify and potentially expand the authority of these inspectors in their role of overseeing taxis and limousines.
