By Council Members Cumbo, Rosenthal and Mendez

 

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creating a parking permit for midwives

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Chapter one of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-162.3 to read as follows:

§ 19-162.3 Permissible parking for midwives. a. For purposes of this section, the term “midwife” means an individual who is licensed or certified to practice midwifery in New York state.

b. The commissioner shall issue an annual on-street parking permit for a vehicle owned or operated by a midwife. The midwife shall submit an application for each permit requested on such form as the commissioner shall determine and shall certify that such permit is necessary for the performance by the midwife for their duties. Such parking permit shall be issued within thirty days of the department receiving an application and shall expire one year after the date of issuance.

b. Such parking permit may only be used for the purpose of parking of a vehicle by a midwife performing midwife duties where parking is prohibited by sign or rule or allowing a vehicle to stand where standing is prohibited by sign or rule.

c. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, such parking permit shall not authorize the parking of a vehicle in a bus stop, a taxi-stand, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, a fire zone, a driveway, a crosswalk, a no stopping zone, a no standing zone, or where the vehicle would be double-parked.

d. Any misuse of a parking permit, as determined by the commissioner, issued pursuant to this section shall be sufficient cause for revocation of such parking permit.

e. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no vehicle bearing a permit issued pursuant to this section may be towed when such vehicle is being used in accordance with the purpose for which such permit was issued, except in public safety emergencies to be determined by the police department.

§2.                      This local law takes effect ninety days after it becomes law.
