AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to muni-meter
receipts
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
2 section 241-b to read as follows:
3 § 241-b. Muni-meter receipts; affirmative defense. In any prosecution
4 or proceeding alleging a muni-meter parking violation, it shall be an
5 affirmative defense to such violation, with the burden of proof on the
6 person who received the summons, that he or she did in fact purchase a
7 muni-meter ticket prior to or up to five minutes thereafter from the
8 issuance of the summons and that the receipt is valid for use at the
9 time and location where such summons was issued. Such defense shall be
10 deemed established if such person produces the actual muni-meter receipt
11 or a copy thereof at such prosecution or proceeding. For the purposes of
12 this section, "muni-meter" shall mean an electronic parking meter that
13 dispenses timed receipts showing the amount of parking time purchased.
14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
