Public Advocate Jumaane Williams joined disabled individuals outside City Hall on Nov. 29 to push for the passage of Intro. 1141, a bill that would eliminate parking fine discounts for mega corporations.
The legislation (Intro. 1141) would prohibit any city agency from agreeing to reduce parking violation fines in exchange for a waiver of the right to contest parking violations. Additionally, it would require any fine dismissal (other than a specific technical reason) to be reviewed in a hearing and include a written determination by an administrative law judge.
