By Council Member Dromm

 

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the operation of electronic sound devices on food vending vehicles

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Subdivision d of Section 24-237 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to read as follows:

(d) No person shall operate or use or cause to be operated or used on any public right-of-way any electrically operated or electronic sound signal device (other than a safety device, such as but not limited to a car horn or back up signal, that is actually used for its intended purpose) attached to, on or in a motor vehicle, wagon or manually propelled cart from which food or any other items are sold or offered for sale after 9:00 p.m. and before 9:00 a.m., or when the vehicle is stopped, standing or parked. For the purposes of this subdivision the term "stopped" means the halting of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with a police officer or other authorized enforcement officer or a traffic control sign or signal. The terms “standing” and "parked" shall be as defined in the vehicle and traffic law.

§ 2. This local law takes effect immediately.
