Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public authorities law, in relation to congestion pricing in New York city, and repealing certain provisions of the vehicle and traffic law, the public authorities law, the public officers law, the tax law, and subpart A of part ZZZ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, amending the vehicle and traffic law and the public authorities law relating to establishing a central business district tolling program in the city of New York and amending the public officers law relating to confidentiality of certain public records, relating thereto (Part A); and to amend the public authorities law, in relation to commissioning an independent forensic audit of the metropolitan transportation authority; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof (Part B)
AI Summary
This bill repeals the existing laws that established congestion pricing in New York City, effectively ending the program that would have charged drivers for entering Manhattan's central business district. Additionally, Part B of the bill mandates that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a public benefit corporation responsible for public transportation in the New York metropolitan area, must hire an independent, certified public accounting firm to conduct a thorough forensic audit of its operations. This audit will examine the MTA's finances and practices in detail, with specific restrictions placed on the accounting firm to ensure its independence and the integrity of the audit process, and the findings must be reported to various state officials by January 1, 2028.
