By Council Members Martinez, Dilan, Reyna, Sanders, Jackson, Lopez and Gonzalez; also Council Member Stewart

 

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of an advisory board of drivers.

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

                     Section 1. Section 19-520 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new subdivision f to read as follows:

 f. There shall be a drivers’ advisory board to advise the commission on matters of safety, conditions of work and the fair enforcement of laws and rules governing drivers licensed by the commission and to examine complaints about these matters solely to facilitate the board’s ability to advise the commission.  This board shall consist of fourteen members each of whom shall, at the time of appointment and thereafter, possess, for at least one year, a valid driver’s license in good standing issued by the commission.  The board shall be comprised of two taxicab lease drivers and two independent taxicab owner-operators, two for-hire vehicle fleet drivers and two independent for-hire vehicle operators, two black car drivers, two commuter van drivers and two paratransit drivers.  Half the members within each category shall be appointed by the speaker of the council and half shall be appointed by the mayor all for two-year terms, none of whom shall be an employee or staff member of the council or the commission.  The board shall meet no less often than every three months, unless the board determines otherwise, but in no event shall the board meet less often than every six months.

§2.  This local law shall take effect ninety days after it is enacted into law.
