Summary: This bill would prohibit any city agency from agreeing to reduce fines for parking violations in exchange for a waiver of the right to contest parking violations. It would also require that any dismissal of a parking violation or reduction of a fine, other than for certain technical reasons, would require a hearing on the merits of each charge and a written determination by an administrative law judge.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the dismissal of notices of violation and reduction of fines

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Chapter 2 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-216 to read as follows:

§ 19-216 Dismissal of notice of violation or reduction of fine. Except for the dismissal or cancellation of a notice of violation for a technical reason pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision 2-a of section 238 of the vehicle and traffic law, paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of section 39-02 of title 19 of the rules of the city of New York, subdivision 2 of section 19-162 or section 19-215, no notice of violation may be dismissed, or the associated fine reduced, without the issuance of a written determination by an administrative law judge after completion of a hearing on the merits of each individual charge. No city agency may agree to reduce fines for parking violations in exchange for a waiver of the right to contest such violations.

§ 2. This local law takes effect 90 days after it becomes law.
