     3    §  137.  Snow, ice and dirt removal; amnesty.  1. A requirement imple-
     4  mented by any city having a population of one million or more to  remove
     5  snow,  ice  and  dirt shall not apply to an owner, lessee, tenant, occu-
     6  pant, or other person, having charge of any building or lot of ground in
     7  such city that is: (i) a senior citizen; or (ii) a person with  a  disa-
     8  bility.
     9    2.  Any  person exempt from the snow, ice and dirt removal requirement
    10  pursuant to subdivision one of this section who has received a notice of
    11  violation, appearance ticket or summons indicating a violation shall  be
    12  granted  amnesty  from  any  civil penalty imposed for failure to remove
    13  snow, ice or dirt.   Such amnesty shall be granted  when  such  city  is
    14  provided with proof that such person is: (i) a senior citizen; or (ii) a

    24  manner;
    25    (ii)  the  term  "senior citizen" means a person who is at least sixty
