N.Y. Executive Law § 837-i: Uniform parking ticket

§ 837-i. Uniform parking ticket. 1. The commissioner, in cooperation

with the commissioner of the department of motor vehicles, and in

consultation with the chief executive officers of cities with a

population in excess of one hundred thousand persons according to the

nineteen hundred eighty United States census shall prescribe the form

and content of uniform parking tickets for such cities in all cases

involving a parking, standing or stopping violation as defined in

accordance with the vehicle and traffic law, hereinafter referred to as

parking violations, or of any local law, ordinance, rule or regulation

adopted pursuant to the vehicle and traffic law relating to parking

violations. Upon written application of the chief executive officer of

any such city, the commissioner, after consultation with the

commissioner of the department of motor vehicles, may authorize the use

of a parking ticket other than the uniform parking ticket prescribed

pursuant to this section if he or she determines that use of such other

parking ticket is not inconsistent with, and will not diminish the

effectiveness of, the parking violations enforcement and disposition

program established pursuant to section eight hundred thirty-seven-j of

this chapter, and may also authorize for a specified time period the use

of a parking ticket which was used by such city on or before the

effective date of this section.

2. The commissioner in consultation with the chief executive officers

of cities with a population in excess of one hundred thousand persons

according to the nineteen hundred eighty United States census shall

establish a system to record and monitor the issuance and disposition of

parking tickets, to monitor the collection of the mandatory surcharge

required by section eighteen hundred nine-a of the vehicle and traffic

law and to receive information from cities for this purpose. Each such

city shall report on such parking violations on a monthly basis in the

form and manner prescribed by the commissioner including, but not

limited to, the parking tickets issued, the dispositions of such tickets

and the amount of fines, penalties and mandatory surcharges collected.

The commissioner shall collect, process and analyze such information and

present periodic reports on the parking violations enforcement and

disposition program.

3. The commissioner shall have the power from time to time to adopt

such rules and regulations as may be necessary to accomplish the

purposes of this section.
