                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                    February 14, 2018
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced by M. of A. LENTOL, DAVILA, BARRON, MOSLEY -- Multi-Sponsored
          by  --  M.  of  A.  NIOU -- read once and referred to the Committee on
          Corporations, Authorities and  Commissions  --  committee  discharged,
          bill  amended,  ordered  reprinted  as amended and recommitted to said
          committee -- reported and referred to the Committee on Ways and  Means
          --  committee  discharged,  bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended

          tee  with  amendments, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to
          said committee
 
        AN ACT to amend the public authorities law and the vehicle  and  traffic
          law, in relation to mitigating the closure of the L subway line in the
          city of New York; and to amend the public authorities law, the vehicle
          and traffic law and the public officers law, in relation to establish-
          ing  a  temporary  high-occupancy  vehicle program on the Williamsburg
          bridge by means of mobile or stationary photo devices;  and  providing
          for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Legislative intent. The L subway line is  of  vital  impor-
     2  tance  to  commuters,  the  local  community,  and businesses within the
     3  service area of the line. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers ride  the
     4  line  on  a  daily  basis, and such ridership volume is essential to the
     5  economic vitality of nearby businesses. Officials from the  metropolitan
     6  transportation  authority  (MTA)  have  indicated that portions of the L
     7  subway line will be temporarily closed  for  repair  work  beginning  in
     8  April  of  2019.  The  closure is anticipated to last fifteen months and
     9  affect all L subway line stations west of the  Bedford  Avenue  Station.
    10  The  temporary  closure  of  the L subway line will cause individual and
    11  economic hardships for those who rely on the line for transportation and
    12  economic opportunities.  Currently, there is  no  statutory  requirement
    13  that  would  mandate the MTA to develop a plan to address the impacts of
    14  such a closure, allow for public feedback, and provide the plan  to  the
    15  community.  It  is  the  intent of the legislature that there be a legal
    16  requirement for the MTA to consider and address all of  the  impacts  of
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD14751-07-8

        A. 9861--C                          2
 
     1  such  a significant closure and provide a plan to the public in a timely
     2  manner. Such plan shall require the MTA to  address  timelines  involved
     3  with  the  proposed  closure, transportation alternatives to accommodate
     4  diverted riders, transportation facility improvements and expansion, the
     5  authority to utilize bus lane cameras to facilitate alternative forms of
     6  transportation,  and  provide  for  public input throughout the planning
     7  process and the L subway line closure.  Public  notice  and  involvement
     8  throughout  the process is essential so that everyday riders are able to
     9  adjust their commuting habits and businesses are able to adapt to such a
    10  change as a result of the closure.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and
    11  declares  that  the  L subway line closure and its impacts are a signif-
    12  icant concern. The legislature further finds and declares that  the  MTA
    13  shall  be  required  to have a plan, prior to the L subway line closure,
    14  that would mitigate the effects of, and accommodate those  affected  by,
    15  the  closure. Finally, the legislature finds and declares that such plan
    16  shall provide for public input and be provided to the community.
    17    § 2. The public authorities law is amended by  adding  a  new  section
    18  1279-e to read as follows:
    19    §  1279-e. L subway line closure mitigation plan. 1. The authority, in

    22  advisory committee to the authority and any other entity  the  authority
    23  deems  relevant,  shall  develop  a  plan to mitigate the individual and
    24  economic hardships due to the L subway line  closure.  Such  plan  shall

    12  ter.
    13    § 9. Section 239 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a
    14  new subdivision 5 to read as follows:

    22  accordance with section eleven hundred ten-a of  this  chapter  contests
    23  such  allegation, the bureau shall advise such person personally by such
    24  form of first class mail as the director may direct of the date on which
    25  he or she must appear to answer the charge at a hearing.  The  form  and
    26  content  of  such notice of hearing shall be prescribed by the director,
    27  and shall contain a warning to advise the person so pleading or contest-
    28  ing that failure to appear on the date designated, or on any  subsequent
    29  adjourned  date,  shall  be deemed an admission of liability, and that a
    30  default judgment may be entered thereon.
    31    1-c. Fines and penalties. Whenever a  plea  of  not  guilty  has  been
    32  entered, or the bureau has been notified that an allegation of liability
    33  in accordance with section eleven hundred ten-a of this chapter is being
    34  contested,  by  a person in a timely fashion and a hearing on the merits
    35  has been demanded, but has not yet been held, the bureau shall not issue
    36  any notice of fine or penalty to that person prior to the  date  of  the
    37  hearing.
    38    2-a.  Conduct  of hearings. a. Every hearing for an adjudication of an

    43  evidence.
    44    c. The hearing examiner shall not be bound by the rules of evidence in
    45  the conduct of the hearing, except rules relating to privileged communi-
    46  cations.
    47    d.  The hearing examiner shall at the request of the person charged on
    48  a showing of good cause  and  need  therefor,  or  in  his  or  her  own
    49  discretion,  issue  a  subpoena to compel the appearance at a hearing of
    50  the officer who served the notice of violation or of  other  persons  to
    51  give  testimony,  and  may  issue  a  subpoena duces tecum to compel the
    52  production for examination or introduction into evidence, of  any  book,
    53  paper or other thing relevant to the charges.
    54    e.  In  the  case of a refusal to obey a subpoena, the bureau may make
    55  application to  the  Supreme  Court  pursuant  to  section  twenty-three

        A. 9861--C                          7
 
     1  hundred  eight of the civil practice law and rules, for an order requir-
     2  ing such appearance, testimony or production of evidence.

     8  the making of the record.
     9    § 11. Section 241 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by  adding
    10  two new subdivisions 1-a and 2-a to read as follows:
    11    1-a.  The  hearing examiner shall make a determination on the charges,
    12  either sustaining or dismissing them. Where the hearing examiner  deter-
    13  mines  that  the  charges  have been sustained he or she may examine the
    14  record of liabilities incurred in accordance with section eleven hundred
    15  ten-a of this chapter of the person charged prior to rendering  a  final
    16  determination.  Final  determinations  sustaining  or dismissing charges
    17  shall be entered on a final determination roll maintained by the  bureau
    18  together with records showing payment and nonpayment of penalties.
    19    2-a.  Where  an  operator  or  owner fails to contest an allegation of
    20  liability in accordance with section eleven hundred ten-a of this  chap-
    21  ter  or  fails  to  appear  on  a  designated hearing date or subsequent
    22  adjourned date or fails after a hearing to comply with the determination
    23  of a hearing examiner, as prescribed by this article or by rule or regu-
    24  lation of the bureau, such failure to contest, appear or comply shall be
    25  deemed, for all purposes, an admission of liability and shall be grounds
    26  for rendering and entering a default judgment in an amount  provided  by
    27  the  rules  and regulations of the bureau. However, after the expiration
    28  of the original date prescribed for contesting an allegation of  liabil-
    29  ity  and  before  a  default  judgment may be rendered, in such case the
    30  bureau shall pursuant to the applicable provisions of  law  notify  such
    31  operator  or  owner,  by such form of first class mail as the commission
    32  may direct: (1) of the  liability  in  accordance  with  section  eleven
    33  hundred  ten-a  of  this  chapter  alleged, (2) of the impending default
    34  judgment, (3) that such judgment will be entered in the Civil  Court  of
    35  the  city  in  which  the bureau has been established, or other court of
    36  civil jurisdiction or any other place provided for the  entry  of  civil
    37  judgments  within  the  state of New York, and (4) that a default may be
    38  avoided by contesting an allegation  of  liability  in  accordance  with
    39  section  eleven  hundred  ten-a  of this chapter or making an appearance
    40  within thirty days of the sending of such notice. Allegations of liabil-
    41  ity contested within that period shall be in the  manner  prescribed  in
    42  the  notice and not subject to additional penalty or fee. Such notice of
    43  impending default judgment shall not be required prior to the  rendering
    44  and  entry  thereof in the case of operators or owners who are non-resi-
    45  dents of the state of New York. In no case shall a default  judgment  be
    46  rendered  or,  where required, a notice of impending default judgment be
    47  sent, more than two years after the expiration of  the  time  prescribed
    48  for  contesting an allegation of liability. When a person has demanded a
    49  hearing, no fine or penalty shall be imposed for any reason prior to the
    50  holding of the hearing. If the hearing examiner shall  make  a  determi-
    51  nation on the charges, sustaining them, he or she shall impose no great-
    52  er  penalty  or  fine  than  those  upon which the person was originally
    53  charged.
    54    § 12. Subdivision 5-a of section 401 of the vehicle and traffic law is
    55  amended by adding a new paragraph a-1 to read as follows:

        A. 9861--C                          8
 
     1    a-1. If at the time of application for a registration or renewal ther-
     2  eof there is a certification from a court or administrative tribunal  of
     3  appropriate  jurisdiction  that  the  registrant or his or her represen-
     4  tative failed to appear on the return date or any  subsequent  adjourned
     5  date  or  failed to comply with the rules and regulations of an adminis-
     6  trative tribunal following entry of a final decision in  response  to  a
     7  total  of  three  or  more  summonses or other process in the aggregate,
     8  issued within an eighteen-month period, charging that the registrant was
     9  liable in accordance with section eleven hundred ten-a of  this  chapter
    10  for a violation of subdivision (f) of section eleven hundred ten of this
    11  chapter,  the  commissioner or his or her agent shall deny the registra-
    12  tion or renewal application until the applicant provides proof from  the
    13  court or administrative tribunal wherein the charges are pending that an
    14  appearance  or  answer has been made or in the case of an administrative
    15  tribunal that he or she has complied with the rules and  regulations  of
    16  said  tribunal following entry of a final decision. Where an application
    17  is denied pursuant to this section, the commissioner may, in his or  her
    18  discretion,  deny  a  registration  or  renewal application to any other
    19  person for the same vehicle and  may  deny  a  registration  or  renewal
    20  application  for  any  other motor vehicle registered in the name of the
    21  applicant where the commissioner has determined that  such  registrant's
    22  intent  has been to evade the purposes of this subdivision and where the
    23  commissioner has reasonable grounds to believe that such registration or
    24  renewal will have the effect of defeating the purposes of this  subdivi-
    25  sion.  Such  denial shall only remain in effect as long as the summonses
    26  remain unanswered, or in the case of  an  administrative  tribunal,  the
    27  registrant  fails  to  comply  with  the rules and regulations following
    28  entry of a final decision.
    29    § 13. Section 1110 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding
    30  a new subdivision (f) to read as follows:
    31    (f) Every person shall obey the instructions of any official  traffic-
    32  control   device   placed   to  delineate  high-occupancy  vehicle  lane
    33  restrictions under the temporary HOV  program  established  pursuant  to
    34  section  eleven hundred ten-a of this chapter, unless otherwise directed
    35  by a traffic or police officer, subject to the  exceptions  granted  the
    36  driver of an authorized emergency vehicle in this title.
    37    §  14.  The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
    38  1110-a to read as follows:
    39    § 1110-a. Owner liability for  failure  of  operator  to  comply  with
    40  temporary  high-occupancy vehicle program restrictions.  (a) 1. Notwith-
    41  standing any other provision of law, the city of New York  in  consulta-
    42  tion with the metropolitan transportation authority is hereby authorized
    43  and  empowered  to  establish  a  temporary high-occupancy vehicle (HOV)
    44  program on the Williamsburg bridge imposing monetary  liability  on  the
    45  owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with HOV
    46  restrictions  on  such  bridge  in  such  city  in  accordance  with the
    47  provisions of this section. The New York city department of  transporta-
    48  tion,  for purposes of the implementation of such program, shall operate
    49  HOV photo devices only within designated HOV areas on  the  Williamsburg
    50  bridge in such city.  Such HOV photo devices may be stationary or mobile
    51  and  shall  be  activated  at locations determined by such department of
    52  transportation.
    53    2. Any image or images captured or produced by  an  HOV  photo  device
    54  shall  not  be  used  for  any  purpose  other than as specified in this
    55  section in the absence of a court  order  requiring  such  image  to  be
    56  produced.

        A. 9861--C                          9
 
     1    3.  The  city  of New York shall adopt and enforce measures to protect
     2  the privacy of drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists whose iden-
     3  tity and identifying information may be captured by an HOV photo device,
     4  provided, however, that no notice of liability issued pursuant  to  this
     5  section  shall  be  dismissed solely because an image produced by an HOV
     6  photo device allows for the identification of the  driver,  the  passen-
     7  gers,  or  the  contents of a vehicle, provided that the city has made a
     8  reasonable effort to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.  Such
     9  protective measures shall include:
    10    (i)  the  utilization  of necessary technologies to ensure that images
    11  produced by such HOV photo devices shall not include images that identi-
    12  fy the driver, the passengers, or the contents of the vehicle;
    13    (ii) a prohibition on the use or dissemination  of  vehicles'  license
    14  plate information and other information and images captured by HOV photo
    15  devices  except:  (A)  as  required  to  establish  liability under this
    16  section or collect payment of penalties; (B) as required by court order;
    17  (C) as required pursuant to a search warrant issued in  accordance  with
    18  the  criminal  procedure law or a subpoena; or (D) as otherwise required
    19  by law;
    20    (iii) the installation of signage in advance of entry points to desig-
    21  nated HOV areas stating that HOV photo devices are used to  enforce  HOV
    22  restrictions; and
    23    (iv) oversight procedures to ensure compliance with the aforementioned
    24  privacy protection measures.
    25    4. Within the city of New York, such HOV photo devices used in accord-
    26  ance with the temporary HOV program shall only be operated within desig-
    27  nated  HOV  areas on the Williamsburg bridge during periods to be deter-
    28  mined by the New York city department of transportation in  consultation
    29  with  the  metropolitan  transportation authority in order to facilitate
    30  traffic management. Determination of such periods shall be made based on
    31  factors that include, but are not limited to, empirical traffic analyses
    32  conducted by such department, input from the public, and  guidance  from
    33  appropriate government entities regarding mitigation strategies.
    34    (b)  If  the  city of New York has established a temporary HOV program
    35  pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section,  the  owner  of  a  vehicle
    36  shall  be  liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section if such
    37  vehicle was used or operated with the permission of the  owner,  express
    38  or  implied,  in  violation of any HOV restrictions that apply, and such
    39  violation is evidenced by information obtained from an HOV photo device;
    40  provided, however that no owner of a  vehicle  shall  be  liable  for  a
    41  penalty  imposed  pursuant  to  this  section where the operator of such
    42  vehicle has been convicted  of  the  underlying  violation  of  any  HOV
    43  restrictions.
    44    (c)  For  purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the
    45  following meanings:
    46    1. "Owner" shall have the meaning provided in article  two-B  of  this
    47  chapter.
    48    2.  "High-occupancy  vehicle" or "HOV" shall mean vehicles with a high

    53  of each vehicle at the time it is in violation of HOV restrictions.
    54    4. "HOV restrictions" shall mean restrictions,  within  the  temporary
    55  HOV  program, on the use of designated areas of the Williamsburg bridge,

    11  be made based on factors that include, but are not limited to, empirical
    12  traffic  analyses  conducted  by such department, input from the public,
    13  and guidance from appropriate government entities  regarding  mitigation
    14  strategies.
    15    (d)  A  certificate,  sworn to or affirmed by a technician employed by
    16  the city of New York, or a facsimile thereof, based upon  inspection  of
    17  photographs,   microphotographs,  videotape  or  other  recorded  images
    18  produced by an HOV photo device, shall be prima facie  evidence  of  the
    19  facts contained therein. Any photographs, microphotographs, videotape or
    20  other recorded images evidencing such a violation shall be available for
    21  inspection  in  any  proceeding  to  adjudicate  the  liability for such
    22  violation pursuant to this section.
    23    (e) An owner liable for a violation  of  subdivision  (f)  of  section

    31  period.
    32    (f) An imposition of liability pursuant to this section shall  not  be
    33  deemed  a  conviction  of  an operator and shall not be made part of the
    34  operating record of the person upon whom such liability is imposed,  nor
    35  shall  it be used for insurance purposes in the provision of motor vehi-
    36  cle insurance coverage.
    37    (g) 1. A notice of liability shall be sent by first class mail to each
    38  person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation  of  subdivision

    40  section. Personal delivery to the owner shall not be required. A  manual

    42  ness shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein.
    43    2. A notice of liability shall contain the name  and  address  of  the
    44  person  alleged  to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision

    55  in the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of  liabil-
    56  ity and that a default judgment may be entered thereon.

        A. 9861--C                         11

     4  violation.
     5    5.  Adjudication  of the liability imposed upon owners by this section
     6  shall be by the New York city parking violations bureau.

     8  to  this  section  for  any  time  period  during which such vehicle was
     9  reported to the police department as having been stolen, it shall  be  a
    10  valid  defense to an allegation of liability for a violation of subdivi-
    11  sion (f) of section eleven hundred ten of this article pursuant to  this
    12  section that the vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior
    13  to  the  time  the violation occurred and had not been recovered by such
    14  time. For purposes of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision
    15  it shall be sufficient that a certified copy of the police report on the

    17  bureau of such city.

    20  not  be  liable  for  the violation of subdivision (f) of section eleven
    21  hundred ten of this article, provided that:
    22    (i) prior to the violation, the lessor has  filed  with  such  parking
