Int 0068-2026 *Shaun Abreu Proposed Int. No. 68-ANewsrack requirements and enforcement.IntroductionThis bill would require newsrack owners to provide their email address to the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) when registering a newsrack, and permits DOT to communicate with those newsrack owners electronically. It additionally requires newsrack owners to regularly clean and repaint their newsracks, and to remove refuse from the newsrack if a notice of correction is issued. It permits DOT to treat a newsrack as abandoned if it is missing all required identifying markings, or if there is no owner on record for the newsrack, and permits DOT to issue a notice of violation alongside a notice of correction for certain violations related to newsrack maintenance, although the notice of violation must be withdrawn if the owner corrects the violation within the time allotted.   Not available Not available
