A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to issuing all community board chairs an official New York City parking placard.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Subchapter 2 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-175.5 to read as follows:

§ 19-175.5 Parking placards for community board chairs. The department shall issue to any chair of a community board within the city of New York upon request a parking placard that permits such chair to park where parking or standing is otherwise prohibited, except where standing is prohibited by all vehicles, and exempts such chair from the requirement to use an authorized payment method for a metered parking space or to comply with signage indicating the time limit for such metered parking.  Such chair shall only use such placard while acting within the scope of his or her duties as chair, and shall surrender such placard to the department upon the completion of his or her service as chair.  The department may require such chair to surrender such placard if such placard is used by such chair outside the scope of his or her service as chair, or if such chair permits such placard to be transferred to another person. 

§2. This local law shall take effect sixty days after it is enacted into law.
