Requiring the taxi and limousine commission to create a fine and civil penalty payment plan.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the taxi and limousine commission to create a fine and civil penalty payment plan.

Drivers licensed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) can face fines and civil penalties for violations of dozens of TLC rules and Administrative Code provisions. If a TLC-licensed driver does not pay any owed fines or penalties within 30 days of a decision of the Taxi and Limousine Tribunal, their license will be suspended. Under the bill, the TLC would be required to establish a payment plan program to allow drivers to pay fines and penalties in installments and would be prohibited from suspending a driver’s TLC license for non-payment, so long as the driver is in compliance with the payment plan.
