A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to deactivating muni-meters when parking rules are not in effect or receipt paper is not available.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Subchapter 2 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to add a new section 19-167.3 to read as follows:
§19-167.3 Deactivating muni-meters. a. For the purposes of this section, the term "muni-meter" shall mean an electronic parking meter that dispenses timed receipts that must be displayed in a conspicuous place on a vehicle's dashboard.
b. The department shall program each muni-meter to ensure that such muni-meter is unable to accept payment:
1. from the last time in a day that parking meter rules are in effect for any parking space within the block or parking field of such muni-meter, or for any other parking space within one hundred feet of such muni-meter, until one hour prior to the next time meter rules take effect for any parking space within the block or parking field, or for any other parking space within one hundred feet of such muni-meter; and
2. when such muni-meter does not contain paper to print timed receipts.
c. This section shall apply only to muni-meters that can be programmed as set forth in subdivision b of this section, provided that no later than two years after the enactment of the local law that added this section, all muni-meters in the city of New York shall be capable of being programmed in the manner required by subdivision b of this section.
§ 2. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law.
