AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing
a residential parking system in the town of North Hempstead
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
2 a lack of parking for residents of certain areas of the town of North
3 Hempstead, Nassau county, has resulted in traffic hazards, congestion
4 and air and noise pollution. In addition, such lack of parking poses a
5 hazard to residents and other pedestrians in such areas.
6 The legislature further finds that a residential parking system within
7 such areas would be in the public interest. The legislature further
8 finds that a residential parking system within such areas will reduce
9 such hazards and will reduce pollution levels as well. The legislature,
10 therefore, hereby declares the necessity of this act to authorize the
11 town of North Hempstead to adopt a residential parking permit system in
12 accordance with the provisions of this act.
13 § 2. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
14 1662-f to read as follows:
15 § 1662-f. Residential parking system in the town of North Hempstead.
16 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, the town
17 board of the town of North Hempstead may, by adoption of a local law or
18 ordinance, provide for a residential parking permit system and fix and
19 require the payment of fees applicable to parking within the area in
20 which such parking system is in effect in accordance with the provisions
21 of this section.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
