BILL NUMBER:S5723 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the penalty for unlawfully fleeing a uniformed officer of the New York city taxi and limousine commission SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The proposed legislation would amend subdivision 1 of section 19-506 of the Administrative Code to broaden the misdemeanor crime of fleeing so that it applies to any driver of a vehicle licensed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission ("TLC") who flees or attempts to flee when stopped by a police officer or by a TLC uniformed officer. The legislation would further amend this provision to increase the penalty for this crime from 90 days imprisonment and/or a fine of $750 to $1,000 to 120 days imprisonment and/or a fine of $1,000 to $10,000. In addition, the legislation would amend paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) of section 19-506 to provide for an additional or alternative civil penalty of $1,500 for a driver convicted of this crime, increasing to $2,500 for the second violation committed within a 36-month period. REASONS FOR SUPPORT: Frequently, when a uniformed TLC inspector attempts to stop a vehicle engaged in for-hire transportation for an observed or suspected violation of law, the driver of the vehicle simply flees the scene.
