A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to permissible parking for members of the clergy

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. It is hereby found that many members of the clergy are frequently called upon to respond to emergencies or situations which warrant immediate attention during the course of performing their official duties. In these instances, many members of the clergy are burdened with the task of locating permissible parking, often delaying their ability to attend to someone in a hospital or to perform an official function.

It is also hereby found that under current New York city traffic rules limited exemptions from parking restrictions exist for doctors and dentists, governmental employees and representatives of certain not-for-profit organizations while these persons are engaged in the performance of their official duties but that there is no analogous exemption from parking restrictions for members of the clergy.

It is the intent of this local law to alleviate a burden on members of the clergy who perform a vital and invaluable public service in the city of New York.
