          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The transportation law is amended by adding a new section

     3    § 198-a. Enforcement. The department shall enforce  this  article  and
     4  any  provision of any authorized rule or regulation promulgated pursuant
     5  to this article provided that the attorney general,  in  response  to  a
     6  complaint from a consumer, at the request of the commissioner, or on the
     7  attorney general's own initiative, may seek equitable relief to restrain
     8  any  violation or threatened violation of section one hundred ninety-one
     9  of this article or any provision of any authorized  rule  or  regulation
    10  promulgated  pursuant  to  such  section.  Whenever  there  shall  be  a
    11  violation or threatened violation of section one hundred  ninety-one  of
    12  this  article  or  any  provision  of  any authorized rule or regulation
    13  promulgated pursuant to such section, an application may be made by  the
    14  attorney general in the name of the people of the state of New York to a
    15  court  or  justice having jurisdiction, by a special proceeding, seeking
    16  an injunction to enjoin and restrain the continuance of  such  violation
    17  or  threatened  violation; and if it shall appear to the satisfaction of
    18  the court or justice that the defendant has, in fact,  violated  section
    19  one  hundred  ninety-one of this article or any provision of any author-
    20  ized rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to such section, an injunc-
    21  tion may be issued by the court or justice,  enjoining  and  restraining

     2  fact, been injured or damaged thereby.
     3    In  any such proceeding, the court may make allowances to the attorney
     4  general as provided in paragraph  six  of  subdivision  (a)  of  section
     5  eighty-three  hundred  three  of  the  civil practice law and rules, and
     6  direct restitution.  Whenever the court shall determine that a violation
     7  of section one hundred ninety-one of this article or  any  provision  of
     8  any  authorized  rule  or regulation promulgated pursuant to section one
     9  hundred ninety-one of this article has  occurred,  the  court  may  also
    10  impose  a  civil  penalty of not more than one thousand dollars for each
    11  violation. In connection with any such proposed application, the  attor-
    12  ney  general is authorized to take proof and make a determination of the
    13  relevant facts and to issue subpoenas in accordance with the civil prac-
    14  tice law and rules.
