Summary

This bill would establish an affirmative defense to tickets for stopping and standing issued to drivers licensed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). The defense would only be available if the violation occurred when the driver was using a TLC-licensed vehicle, and was actively assisting, receiving, or discharging a passenger with impaired mobility. This defense would not be available if the driver was obstructing a fire hydrant or emergency vehicle, in a bus or bicycle lane, alongside a median, in an intersection or crosswalk, or had been stopping or standing for more than 10 minutes.
