Int. No. 172

 

By Council Members Farías, Louis, Rivera, Won and Mealy

 

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the compensation received by for-hire vehicle drivers for advertising on the interior of for-hire vehicles

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Subdivisions c and d of section 19-525.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by local law number 33 for the year 2024, are amended to read as follows:

c. Interior advertising company license required. It shall be unlawful for any person to provide or supply an approved electronic tablet for use in a for-hire vehicle unless such person secures a license therefor from the commission. The fee for the issuance of such license shall be [no more than] $500 a year. Any person licensed under this section shall provide the commission with any and all information required by the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this section, including but not limited to the information required under section 19-546.

d. Driver compensation. Any interior advertising company licensed pursuant to subdivision c of this section shall compensate drivers of a for-hire vehicle with an approved electronic tablet with a minimum of 25 percent of the gross revenue generated by such tablet in their vehicle. One year after the implementation of this local law, the commission shall provide the speaker of the council and the mayor a report examining the compensation received by drivers from approved tablets and may adjust the minimum compensation standards if the commission deems necessary. In the case of a for-hire vehicle with more than 1 driver, each driver operating such vehicle shall receive a pro rata share of such revenue, based on the share of hours the driver operated the vehicle.

§ 2. This local law takes effect on the same date as local law number 33 for the year 2024.
